Re: U-Joint cap retainer straps from factory

I ended up cutting the straps off of 1 side as the straps interfered with a large nut on the end of the rear end saddle and on the transmission end

The straps are quite thin,only tack welded and snipped very easily. Studying the mounting of the ujoint in their respective saddles, I do not see a purpose for the straps except to possibly keep end caps in place during handling
