Update,
Well it's been 3 to 4 weeks. Still no Flanges.
I finally took matters into my own hands and decided to fix the CV side. I thought it was just as easy to weld up the holes and redrill them with the correct pattern, than removing the parking drum and redrilling it or finding an older one. (Worked great!) As per #White Stripes advice, I placed an order with Cruiser Outfitters for a round pinion flange. Still waiting for it to arrive. Should be here today.
As far as Curtis at Tatton Driveline, I have to say I am very unhappy. If I didn't have the means to fix this, I basically would have a $350 paper weight. I'm not quite sure he knows how to convert imperial to metric.
He claims he's gonna refund me $50 to help offset the cost off the round pinion flange. I've yet to see the refund as he says he will submit the refund when he runs credit cards. (Whatever that means).
Anyways, lesson learned.
I've put this out there so others don't make the same mistake. If your gonna order a custom Driveshaft, do yourself a favor and use Tom Woods and not Tatton.
