Solid on one side and Rubber on the other is a pretty standard Street rod
trick... works with some drag cars as well....
I ended up going to solids on both sides with a rubber mount on the

car with the correct Driveshaft.... Life is Good.... hoping to fire up the
Mule this Saturday morning and get to the Polishing point....K
