Bob:
Go to NWSL and order U-joint #'s 486-6 and 490-6. One press fits perfectly a
3.0mm shaft and the other I drill to 2.9mm (with NWSL HSS Drill part #2290-5)
and press fit to the other shaft. Cut and fit the dog bone and you're done.
I've redone six FA's this way with great results.
As far as gears go, my personal experience has been the more used, cleaned and
properly lubricated, the longer they will last. The FA's were imported 25
years ago (1985). The models I have run consistently through the years give me
far less trouble than items I reef out of the boxes following 20+ years of
storage. In my younger "gear head" days, the motto was: "beat it - break it -
repair it". In a form tempered by many intervening years, that motto can still
apply... <G>
