Nope. No u-joints for me. I Plan on ditching the phenolic (sp?)
for the use of (now I don't remember what they are called) the
eye balls on the end of a push rod. I will pass the torque tube
through the eye, giving it a lubricated joint in which to
swivel in all directions. Since my center torque tube ends at
the seat back b/head I will have one of these swivels fixed in
that location, and the at the other end of the toque tube (at
the reflexor) I will have another.
