Post Need new U-joint
Where would be the best place to buy a replacement universal both local and online? I had mine shred the key and strip out the knotch in it. This is a homebuilt so no manufactureer to call on it. Thanks

Thanks everyone, I took the old one off this morning and noticed that it stripped out the key groove on the shaft as well... I was thinking about drilling a hole through the universal and shaft and inserting a pin to hold it all together instead of using the key as this is the second time I've had one strip out. What do you guys think of this?

Everything I've heard says don't drill through the shaft, it will create a serious weak spot. As much as it sucks, you might have to replace your shaft.
