So here is my basic plan. Shoot holes in it please:

Step one: Take apart 1356 and "mock it up" with a 205. A little bit of distance in between to allow for shifting the 205.

Step two: Send the 1356 shaft to Moser, cut it long enough so as not to get into the hollow part of the 1356 shaft.

Step three: Take a 5" piece of pipe from work (essentially free), turn the OD and make a step in the ends with my old man's lathe

Step four: Make two "bolting faces" with my old man's lathe. Make a step on the ID of the bolting face to match previously mentione pipe. This way it will be in line

Step five: Weld it together

Step six: assemble and done.

Why would this not work?
