rule of thumb for a tailshaft builder is to have 15mm hangining out under normal load.this may vary with your bumpstops etc.

if you put a spcer in, and damage the shaft at some point, u can always get hold of a standard shaft. if its custom it works out more expensive.

A tail shaft spacer increase the driveshaft angle very slightly - may not be a problem but make certain the uni's don't knuckle out at maximum droop.
( usual disclaimers )

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.
