Used a Buckley yoke for years in a winged 41" Gambler car. It allowed a less than perfectly rear end center section to be used and still have the rear "free" throughout its travel.(The car hooked up very well) I used bolts threaded into the motor plate,with a reinforcement plate on the motor side,and nuts on the motor side. I crashed the car so hard one nite that it exploded the center section,and crushed the "Buckley"unit.The Motor plate survived. I still use a steel u-joint! I don't trust the aluminum ones. Most of my parts are "duty tested"(used).The magnesium ball would provide no margin of safety in a driveline explosion,anyway! With the buckley unit in the car as we mounted it,the possibility of the driveline taking out the pumps is much reduced,I think...... Any body else???
