    I am putting my newly rebuilt 71 Skylark rear in my 65. I see that it uses straps with bolts instead of the u-bolts to hold the rear u joint to the rear. My new rear did not come with the straps so I have to get some. The local Auto zone has some stamped steel straps with new bolt super cheap. But, I have no idea what kind of Chinese metallurgy I will get with those. So, I was thinking about performance aftermarket. However, none of my favorite speed sites seem to list anything but the u-bolt replacement types.

    What are you all running and do you have a vendor and part number you would suggest?

    I have several used originals laying around if you need them. Just PM me and address and I'll put them in the mail.

    Thanx Bill. It was the larger of the two you sent. That was very nice of you to do. I have sent back the smaller of the two to your inventory.

    Thanx again!
