Think about it, if the joints we dead inline, nothing moves, including the needles everyone seems to think would fail, supposedly from lack of lube or some such nonsense. You wouldn't need lube. You wash the lube out and run it just fine. Nothing is moving. You could weld the u joint to the yokes and it would work fine.
1* is not as great, but it beats 25 all to hell. I can find you dozens of pictures u joint failure due to excessive angle in manufacture's tech bulletins and , you can't find me one due to lack of angle.
Hes a re rig new stringers no holes and yes I get strut angle versus v drive with a exesting strut I talked with Michael today on the phone and figured you would have some good input also. He thinking his v drive may lean 2 degrees forward .
