I ordered from strange engineering and according to their measurment guide order form, my A measurement was 47.75. B was 0.625.

spohn sold premade ones for swaps that should work, i ran one of theirs before.

Yes with the spohn premade one, had to use a conversion u joint. Once i went 12 bolt, i swapped ujoint for 1350 or whatever. Then i went 9” and ordered the strange unit at 47.75. I think it was slightly different than the previous one, i can measure the old one
