Hi: What year Mazda RX7?

Midwest Amphicar <> wrote: A couple of years ago. I was working on a Mazda RX7. Non replaceable u joints. They looked familiar. Prop shaft U joints worked! I called John Bevins to help look, now that We had a "real" car to search under. Low and behold a u joint maker made a repair kit for these cars. I just called John to get ok to share this number. Available from local auto parts Car Quest 1-0430.
Later Dave the Wave

Re: Prop shaft questions please

Thanks guys for all the input.
I took the shafts to Mikes Drive Lines. Made some instant friends as soon as they found out it was for an Amphicar. Everyone was interested for sure. Should be rebuilt and balanced on Monday. I will let everyone know the results.
The tool for those crazy 12 point bolts that hold the prop shafts to the water transmission is called "A 8 MM Spline bit" I got a whole set with 10 bits for $12.95 from Wholesale Tool. There part number is #6036-0680. They were a correct fit.
So thanks again, David, Dave, Ken, Ron and everyone else. What a great group this is, just ask a question and you get a world wide response.
