daytona pinion support question

#1 Post by justinhip » Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:34 am

When using a daytona style pinion support, is it a requirement to ditch the crush collar and go with solid spacers? Also, is there a special yoke to use? I need a new yoke and was going to buy a 3150 yoke but again, I don't know if I need anything special. I will be using a standard 28 spline pinion.

Thanks

I believe everything you use is the same. I run a daytona pinion support and have a basic3150 yolk Now I didn't put it all together so I am not
exactly sure on the crush collar but you can run a normal yolk.
