it was a fucking debacle to get the u joints out ....like 5 hours .....maybe this weekend i will put it in.......gonna powder coat it and get some new u joints .,.......still need to check if the slip yoke dust shield will fit over the 720 tail housing ...other wise i guess i will use my 4 sp wierdo slip yoke off my 4 sp.....its the bolt on yoke running a freeze plug in the end.....

 

maybe i should pm wayno and see if he has a source photo of a 720 front driveshaft yoke to see if there even similar to the one off the 520 shaft.....its identical to my 620 one i have ......but not sure if the 720 one is the same

I believe that all the L series and napZ series 4 and 5 speed slip yokes are basically the same except for the yokes on the early 4 speeds that have the hole in the end with the nut holding them on.

This is a 720 yoke.

They have GPS markers embedded in them.  :lol:

I am using a 521 plastic one in my 521KC right now, that is what the 3rd one is for, that is why I checked the color against my dash top.

on a rc note ... went racing and literally caught my stock buggy on fire ..... battery lead on speedo side grounded on chassis and let all the magic smoke out and then caught ablaze... stayed and raced my mod buggy but this was a bummer....120 speedo burned up ....
