Homemade SYE Question

Ok, so I bought the yoke I needed for the front driveshaft SYE and had it cut down and the first 5/8" of splines machined out for the bearing on the end. I was planning on leaving 1 1/4" of splines for the yoke to go over.

After I got the piece back today I realized that the splines do not go all the way down the yoke end, they stop about 1/4" before the end on the inside. So, that would mean that after I cut my shaft down to 1 1/4" of splines that there would only be 1" of spline contact between the yoke and the shaft after I bolt it on.

Is that OK? Am I splitting hairs or should I leave 1 1/2" of splines on the shaft to achieve 1 1/4" of contact?

Thanks in advance!

You should be fine with 1" of spline contact.

is there a write up of what you're doing on the homemade SYE? I can't find one...

I personaly would want atleast as much spline contact as the diameter of the shaft

I also plan on taking pictures along the way and maybe doing a short write up.
