IF you cannot find a yoke find a welder and weld a washer in where the tab was. Very simple easy fix. What I do is put the u-joint in and tighten it down. Then I find a washer that will fit around the same diameter of the cap. I'll set it in there and tack it in place. There are a few members in VA but I am unsure where they are located in the State. Jeff in VA might be able to help. He has been around quite a while and might know who you could hit up.

I think I would rather at least try to find a welder then risk the jb weld. Hell I would trust 2 batteries and a stick weld with jumpercables before id do the jb route.
