[DML] SpecialTAuto (Hervey) Angle Drive Product Review

[Stephen Rice <stevedmc@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have gone through two angle drives in the past 18 or so months of
Delorean ownership and have decided to give Hervey's a try since his
is designed a little differently.  So far I am very pleased with it
and want to let everyone know about it.

Days after I got home with 16510 the angle drive broke so I had to
replace it.  The first angle drive I installed broke because I did not
bother to grease the thing.  The second angle drive didn't really
break but the metal shaft didn't seem to do a good job at making a
connection with the dust cap.  This meant that the functioning angle
drive wasn't able to turn because it simply wasn't being turned by the
dust cap.

There are a few major improvements in Hervey's unit that I would like
to let everyone know about.  First the metal shaft in his is
removable.  Not only is it removable but it is a little longer than
the one on the unit I just removed from the car.  This means it is
able to seat itself further into the dust shield than the unit I had
before.

And last but not least it is a sealed unit which does not need
lubrication.  Hervey says on his website that he has been
using/testing one for 6 months without any problems.  Right now I am
very pleased and am hoping to see this thing stay in service for at
least a few years.  It comes with a 1 year warranty.
