I sent the generator and regulator out to Jason at Advanced Electrical Rebuilders about a month ago and expect to see it back in another month or two so in the mean time I've moved on to other things. First on that list was shortening the driveshaft. Before having the driveshaft worked on I had to rebuild the U-joints. After removing all the bolts I discovered that the original seals were worn out and after finding no suitable replacements I turned up some new seals from brass. They came out quite nice and the U joints went back together with no discernible slop at all. They feel as tight as the day they were made. With the new joints installed I took the shaft to Shaftmasters in Lincoln Park, MI and they took 7" out of the shaft, welded it back together and balanced it for under $250. They also fixed a bad weld that some hack had put in it years ago. The yolk closest to the differential ran out almost 1/8".
