Rod,
The inner flange and u joint setup looks almost identical to the
Corvair sourced set I have in my street GT6. The welded on yoke means you
have the "sealed for life" bearing option :-P
The yoke splines onto the axle like to get loose, and I presume the welding
was a temporary fix to tighten them back up.
When I looked, the yokes are not available new.
