I found that again, and have looked thru it and the one on Merkur Encyclopedia. However I see no pics of what it look like when they're talking about reusing the stock 2 piece drive shaft. Take the front section of the stock 2 piece driveshaft and have a T5 yoke welded on and balanced at a drivesha...
