Actually, the aluminum looks different because it's gaulded (sp?) The driveshaft tube spun around the yoke before it came apart. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>



correct me if i'm wrong, but the yoke appears to be cast, and the tube i assume is not. so the aluminum's properties are different which accounts for the difficulty in welding, my wife manufactures aircraft engine fins for ge and they have the same problem.[/quote]

No correction necc. I'm sure it is a different type of aluminum (cast vs billet) I just was thinking a better weld job would have prevented this.

Hopefully they'll get their stuff together for the new one.
