Nik's 62 build

here are pictures of how to check it .
remember the first thing to do is make shore the two u joints are lined up !
I lay the driveshaft on a flat surface to check this .

then do like in picture #1 first check to see that the space between the drive shaft and the square are even all the way down .

then check it from the other side also.

then check it like picture # 2 and #3 to see that the end cap looks spaced even when checked from both sides .
if it looks even all 4 ways then make 1 tack weld and check it all 4 ways again .

in picture #2 the square was not against the driveshaft like it should be
I couldn't hold the square and take the picture at the same time.

if it is good make a second tack weld on the other side . check it again to make shore it didn't move and if its all good then finish welding it.
try to make your weld even size all the way around.
if you get a fat spot in your weld then grind that spot to make it similar size to the rest of the weld.
