Really no need to fill that port, IIRC it will just mount up to the flange on the axle tube and that will cover it, if you fill the cavity with JB you'll just have a hard time if you ever had to remove plate, assuming you apply the JB while it's mounted.

nah they're not on yet. I'm using masking tape to make sure it's flush and won't interfere with anything.
I melded Jeep and Ford together to make a perfect driveshaft. Is my Jeep going to explode.
Well done... I was just looking at the driveline in my explorer frame and considering this option. What did you use the driveline out of? I take it you already had a SYE on that? Did you have to swap U-joint caps or not?

Supposedly out of a 1978 Bronco and yes running a HNT right now on the 231.
Caps are a different size.. I'm not sure what yet but it looks like possibly a 1310 with a 1310 Ford or a 1310/1330. I'll be checking tonight.
Thing I did not notice is that the beam angle was 220 degrees. Tried to figure out what that means and if it matters. They look fine to me but will check them out at night also. Googling it just led me to a bunch of info that went right over my head. So if anybody knows if this matters would appreciate the feedback. The first set that were to long had a beam angle of 360 degrees.
It's a measure of how widely the bulb illuminates, starting from directly in front.
0 degrees would be a straight line of light, like a laser
45, 60, 90 (as examples) would be cones of light of varying width
180 would mean it illuminates everything in front of it, around to the sides at 90° angles
More than 180 means it illuminates everything in front, and however much extra on the sides/rear
360 means it illuminates all angles, from the front to the sides and the back
In this application, I would say anything above 90° is acceptable
I actually understand that. And you answered my most important question. Does it matter? Not. Thank you. They way I think is that if I am Googling something it means I know little to nothing about it. I need the simplified layman's terms version. Maybe that could be a thing. Google for Idiots. If you were to use that version of Google it would give you sites that give you the simplest explanation. LOL.
Thank you.
Forgot to ad that my turn signal indicators do not dimly glow when I turn on the headlights anymore. I kind of assumed it was the flasher. Was going to swap the old one back in just to see. Now my guess is mixing regular and LED bulbs in the turn signal/hazard system brought that on.

Cool! We used to just trade caps and bearings on two opposing posts. I found that the U-joint posts are usually a common size, They just have different size bearings and caps. So using two and the yokes from one make, and two for the other make driveline on the same U-joint can usually work fine. Adapted a lot of makes to other makes this way over the years.
Excellent out of the box thinking as long as your length is going to be right!
tried using some fine/medium polish to see if I could salvage the paint a lil bit. (just a smol test)
heh. no. I mean, a bit of that oxidation look is gone, but the paint is a bit of a gonner. Gonna wait till the next maaco special, do some prep work of my own, and get a cheap paint job that'll be better than what I got now, anyway.
