Apex Covered Universal Joint (aka: Helicopter Joints)

Brand: Apex Universal Joints

These high-quality, heavy-duty universal joints are manufactured to Military Specification MS-20271. Their strong yet compact, thin wall construction allows them to fit into those tight spots commonly found on shift linkages of mid-engine cars.

Each joint is permanently lubricated and covered with a silicone rubber boot to exclude dirt. They are designed for cross-bolting, pinning, or welding to a close fitting shaft or torque tube. (Welding must be done carefully to prevent heat damage.*) Maximum operation angle 30°.

Our part numbers refer to the Inside Diameter of the joint (OD of the linkage rod or tube). Stepped sizes are not available. If two different diameter tubes must be joined, a bushing must be added to the smaller one. Sold individually.

*If you plan to weld these joints, you need our Anti-Heat° Heat Sink Compound to protect the joint and boot from welding heat.

Expensive but about the only option.

By Dal

from Kansas City

Comments about Apex Covered Universal Joint (aka: Helicopter Joints):

Apex makes a great (expensive) product. However, after reviewing options, their U Joints seemed to be the only viable option.

Service and delivery comments:

As always, Pegasus did a great job on my return of different U joints and getting me the Apex joints in a timely basis.

Qulity Joints

By Argojm2

from Chattanooga, TN

Comments about Apex Covered Universal Joint (aka: Helicopter Joints):

These joints are the bees knees for long lasting shift linkage. Take care when welding or they can be damaged. We used the heat sheilding compound and had no problems. Just take care with heat build up.

Apex Covered Univesral Joint

By Buc01

from Moore, OK

Comments about Apex Covered Universal Joint (aka: Helicopter Joints):

Perfect solution for the old worn out u-joints on my 1991 VF FC shift linkage. I really like how Pegasus matched the correct bold and saddle washers to the universal joint. When I went to install them, the bolts and saddle washers worked perfectly.
