Aha, thanks for the clear explanation, Irv. I hadn't been paying a lot of
attention, but the complaint didn't make sense to me.
There's nothing but a cork (?) seal inside the original driveshaft, to keep
the yoke from slipping off the shaft. It was never intended as a stop, only
as a dust seal. Sounds like one alternative to building a solid shaft would
be to replace that seal with a steel spacer.
