Patcon Posted February 14, 2018 Share #1873 Posted February 14, 2018 Mark, I was looking back through the thread at your sound deadening. I didn't see what brand you bought. Do you like it? Any strong odors? Any peeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low cost, no odour (butyl ultimate product) and sticks like rumours to Trump’s administration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently if you mess up and use the wrong product you end up with a sticky gooey mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted February 15, 2018 Share #1876 Posted February 15, 2018 Did you use the "Ultimate" or the "Extreme"? I assume the Vcomp was for the firewall pad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share #1877 Posted February 15, 2018 I used the ultimate butyl product and the vcomp is for the floor and firewall. I haven’t installed that yet. I also used aluminum duct tape to seal the joints in any exposed areas like the hatch and spare tire well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted February 15, 2018 Share #1878 Posted February 15, 2018 Thanks. They are currently sold out of the Vcomp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share #1879 Posted February 16, 2018 90% cleaned up, waiting for the u joints to show up. Then I will powder coat and reassemble the shaft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted February 16, 2018 Share #1880 Posted February 16, 2018 Clean enough to eat off. Looks great. Did you remember to mark the parts so you get them back together the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you remember to mark the parts so you get them back together the same way? Why yes I did! A chorus of forum voices echoed through my head as I prepped the piece... "did you mark the mating ends?", "did you mark each end separately for tranny and diff?" ... I also removed a whack of undercoating over-spray from the shaft. That must have been an issue with balance, so much of it on one side versus the other... yeesh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted February 16, 2018 Share #1882 Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) I looked at my 240Z prop shafts and that divot that Nissan took off of the yoke ears in interesting. I'll bet they used it to expose the cups so that they could clamp them down while staking. If you want some insurance for the clips, you could use one of the billion grades of gap-filling Loctite. Designed to lock bearing races down, which is what the cup is. Spendy but might be worth peace of mind. It could lock the clips on too, so they don't rotate and pop off. They have too many to know which might be best. http://na.henkel-adhesives.com/industrial/green-threadlockers-pre-assembled-wicking-13227.htm Edited February 16, 2018 by Zed Head typo-rama 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
