Bill:
I regret to say that I was not smart enough to order Spicers.
Let that be a lesson to the others on the list; Moss parts will not
necessarily be a good fit; If you can go with a known good supplier, do
so!
Oh, well, look at the bright side; I have learned new and
creative
ways to swear!

We just did all of that for "Rosey", had no problem with the
U-Joints, I don't use any brand but Spicer ... well worth the cost
... however we found almost every flange to be distorted or worn
out! This was clearly caused by lack of lubrication (by DPO) given
that ... everything was assembled with Mobil One Grease and the
nipples that came with the Spicers work just fine...
