A friend took his to a machine shop and had it shortened (can't
remember the
amount) and the GSL drive shaft shortened to fit in his 12A Bugeye. I believe
most any competent machine shop should be able to handle it, as long as they
have an appreciation for the importance of it being straight. He had a complete
custom front end (double A-arms) so I think he used most of the Mazda brakes. I
think the car is in Missouri, now.
