Yeah Mace.
essentially I mean that (on the rear for example) I would have the standard double cardon joint bolted to the outputs shaft, the have the standard (early) L/C slip-joint inner. For the outer slip shaft I will shorten it. To shorten it (by say 4") cut a 6" length out of the shaft then machine a 1" shoulder inside of the shaft on both halves (and a 45deg chamfer on the outer edge/lip, and slide in a sleeve (2 1/8" long, 1" of sleeve in each half, with a 1/8" between the shaft to aid in weld penetration) into both halves of the shaft (interference fit), and weld the shaft together and to the sleeve.
Does that explain more?
Does it make sense?
