    Hi guys
    As I get ready to construct my rig I am slowly trying to piece together parts. Would this ujoint work correctly for a 2dof rig. I am building a full platform rig for my rseat like another fellow did on the forums.

    http://m.ebay.com/itm/201133216161
    Ps I know it will need to cut and have some mounting plates welded on :)

    thanks for any advice/intervention.

    I did get it. Great price. Could not help myself. I am sure I will have plenty of more questions once I begin building this thing. Thanks for the advice.

    GREAT - you can rest assured you got a good buy and didn't have to go to the junk yard and fish a good one out....
