Made it work!
The U joint is simple and basic, light duty, but is pretty well built. I used a pair of these and some shafting to mechanically remote control fuel valves that were located in the engine room of my boat. If there were ever a fire in the engine room, getting to the fuel valves to shut them off would be near impossible. I drilled a hole through the steel bulkhead and welded in a 1/2" pipe, ran the shaft through the pipe and articulated the direction of the shafting using the U-joints, welded on a handle and it works just dandy. The only problems I had were the tiny allen setscrews that are supposed to hold the shaft to the U-joint were somewhat untrustworthy and the wrench sent with them stripped out on application of any torque, so I tig welded the U-joint to the shaft. The U-Joints come apart with a circlip (don't lose it!) and went back together easily. Another reviewer suggested drilling the shaft and using roll pins, that would be a good approach as well, the shafts I used were hardened so welding worked best for me. Overall for the price, a good purchase. McMaster had something similar for 3 times the price.
