[alfa] Fw: Correct u-joints for 105/115 ('74 Spider)

["skippatnode" <skippatnode@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

    I found the following info a while back when changing the U-joints on my
'67 Duetto.  It seems that Alfa put the smaller U-joints in until 1965, then
from '65 to '68 they used small or large and in '68 they went to the large
ones.



Alfa U-Joints:



1954-1965    1300/1600

1966-1968    w/ .938 dia caps   NAPA # 431



1966-1968    w/ .945 dia caps

1968-1994                   NAPA # 413



Notice the difference in size is only .007".  Measure and make sure.

Hi Group:

A short while ago there was a discussion about the correct u-joints for a
105/115 driveshaft.  Apparently, some vendor(s) sell ones that fit, while
others don't.  Too bad I didn't pay attention, because now my '74 Spider
needs a pair.  Anyone care to refresh my memory?

Regards,
