Now for something completely different
Now you are tasked with
ABSOLUTE PEFECTION
You must marry the two rotating masses at near perfect alignment.
OR
You will experience the worst vibration damage you may ever see
Don't get me wrong.
I love your new coupler.
It does appear quite strong and its beauty speaks volumes for the man doing your welding and cutting.
Now there is no room for error in the mating of the two halves of the driveline.
The LoveJoy died isolating the trans from the motor.
That is what the spacer between does. Absorb impact and vibration.
You have lost that forgiveness when you went to a solid coupler.
Like a racer going to solid motor mounts from rubber.
Vibration is amplified/transmitted to the frame from the drivetrain. This causes stresses they must overcome as well.
I hope it does you well in your endeavour.
