Hi Bob,
   Custom splined means I had the TR6 stub axles splined to fit the splines 
of the GT6+ axle flange. All of  this is installed in the GT6+ Verticle link 
as I will be using GT6+ suspension. The TR6 and GT6+ use the same outer 
bearing and I used an Off- the -shelf Timken for the inner.  It is assembled 
with zero clearance and I will be using TR6 half shafts attatched to my  TR6 
Differential.   I went through all this only to learn there is a CV joint 
assembly  made to fit  a DB Swift that would have replaced my Roto-flex.  
I'll keep it in mind for the Spit 3.5 MKII.
steve
