Default miniature u-joint adapters

I'm new here. Actually, I just registered but have been lurking for a little bit.

I have a Kyosho Mini-Z Overland that I'm looking at customizing into a 4WD crawler. I have a mod posted by someone else which turns the 2WD stock vehicle into a true 4WD, but it involves turning the entire front axle. I designed a system that would allow using steering knuckles to turn just the wheels, but need help in machining the u-joint adapters for it.

Is there anyone here that can help me out if I provide the design and dimensions?

Thanks!

Okay, I'll do that as soon as I finalize the design. I'm just a C++ programmer, but I have had some mechanical design education in the past...

I should have the design ready later this week or by the middle of next week. Thanks in advance!
