Same... I really need to stop jerking it with the engine rebuild. It's just too cold outside, you know?

Here is the "proper" flange u-joint to use made by JTR. It uses a dana 1310 series joint and has the proper pilot diameter.

I found this for Stuart. Way cheaper. Even though the diameter the pilot diameter for the part of the flange that goes into the diff is 1mm smaller so there is "essentially" play(just theoretically speaking, but not really) in the shaft, it has worked fine for Stuart. As long as you use the proper bolts to connect the DS to the diff, that should be fine and align it. Plus, I dont think 1mm(essentially 0.5mm all around on the diameter) would cause any driveline vibrations or issues. Yet again, Stu's trans is essentially hard-mounted at the moment.

Thank you Thank you! I was already kind of pissed I have to buy a 31 spline yoke for the front, I hadn't even thought about the issue with the rear!

I owe you a beer.

does anyone know the u-joint part# to use for the rear that attaches to the diff? I am getting a 1330 style for the front.

I actually sourced and ordered that part for Stuart. Let me see if I can go back and find it again.

There is a place that makes the specially for V8 bmw swaps, but that is almost twice as much as the one I was able to find.

I know the price is a bit more but I went with a wilwood reverse mount pedal set. You want to use 5/8 bore brake master cylinder's, clutch i still need to figure that out im thinking 5/8 or 3/4. I may have pedal boxes with firewall block off plate and brake lines available very shortly that will be very competitively priced time is getting hard to come by these days but its in the plans.

What you achieve:
More room in engine compartment
Adjustable front rear balance from driver seat
Adjustable bias if you add inline valves.
Proper brake leverage at the pedal 6.25:1
Great pedal feel
Room to adjust and grow with future BBK's
Light weight

I have this entire setup, Ill snap some detailed pics. I also have a brand new master with reservior and a brake booster I will be putting up for sale.

Man, and right after I bought my booster delete kit too.


Also, is it really not that bad Stuart? I mean, you didn't seem to have any problems braking when we went out, but when I did the math (used a 'brake force calculator' online) it said that the brakes would be waaaay underpowered, even with the increased leverage. Oh well, I guess I'll see when I'm done... whenever that is
