Vibration UPDATE

[Dave_Vrba@mail.sel.sony.com (Dave Vrba)]

     Hello listers:
     
     Pulled the driveshaft on the '62 Sprite this weekend and SHO NUF , a 
     bearing failure (almost half gone) on one of the spiders on the front 
     U-joint.  The back was OK but it's out o'there too.  Getting a local 
     Driveline shop to replace both ends this week for a $15 charge. (I 
     supply the u-joints)  Can't beat that price for a pro to do the job.
     
     Thanks again for the diagnosis help from all who responded on where to 
     look to find the vibration source.
     
     In the reinstall process of the drive shaft, I believe this list 
     posted before to wrap the front u-joint in black elect tape to 
     stabilize the joint for easier insertion / joining of the front spline 
     up the tunnel.  (Just let the tape blow itself off with rotation and 
     out the tunnel as you drive.)
     
     Is this the current best tip on putting the drive shaft back in?
     
     TIA.
