I know, I was going to cut the large splines on the pitman arm into two smaller ones but that proved VERY time consuming and harder to get right, so I modified the pitman shaft instead.

I started with 32 splines and cut out 4 so I still have 28 splines, and the old wide splines still offer support on the outsides, so really I only lost 2 splines. It is still AT LEAST 90% as strong as it was.
