7 1/4 to 8 3/4 Newb Questions

it's all part of the process amigo.

it a collective effort and, at times, knowing what is wrong can be just as valuable as knowing what it right.

the reason i say to call the shop doing the work and verify with them how they wanted it measured is because i got jammed up on that deal. shop i dealt with tons of times had changed hands, had them do some other little piddly work like balance and swap out joints. then, like always just called them up and said i need a shaft spec'd out to this.

so i got it back to the shop and the damn thing didn't fit. turns out the new HDIC wanted all the measurements this way instead of the old way, which according to him was "wrong" and "inferior". so i got to pay for it again.
