Rag Joint

Hey Guys, I've just bought a 97 TA and just found the other day that I am needing a new rag joint. Now I have read about the eliminators available through unbalanced engineeringing, however I have tried contacting them with some questions and never received any reply(this has been over a week ago now). I work at a machine shop and am contemplating making my own, however I want to be sure of the measurments before I do(thickness, hole spacing, and hole sizes). And my car is my daily driver and i'm not able to have down time with it waiting until I get one made. So I was hoping someone may have the measurments for one, or even an extra one someone may have they could spare. Anyways, I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

If you are calling them about receiving information on dimensions, I highly doubt they are eager to supply that info to you for free.

Just buy an LS style shaft & reclock it like the one youve got Then tack weld it Its really easy & clears stuff way better than a rag elim kit

I strongly suggest you tack-weld the splines shaft!!

OP it will be way easier and less cluttered to use the Ls1 shaft....

I wasn't contacting them about dimensions, I was actually planning on buying one from them, but I was concerned at the time about shipping time, so I was wondering how long it would take to get to where I am(Tn). Although I sent them two emails, never got a reply. Plus I hadn't seen any recent posts regarding their eliminators, I was even wondering if they were even still in business.
