hey so I made a quick check on mine for thickness and I didn't screw up.  it is .155 not .100.  Yeah something I don't have to remake.

Some tech people could consider them "Temporary" fasteners. and you are still too thin on the material thickness  .125"

thanks for posting, looks like a neat set up.

Question on this subject since its one thing I still have not made up. Since mines soild shaft with couplers and I will need quick access will two piece tube in slip fashion work? One fastened to the rear ,other sliding over it to trans with some sort of locking divice in middle on top,still working on that part. Mines is also about 12" from trans to rear coupler

You can telescope the 2 pieces or you can split the tube and have marmon band clamps on each end as long as the split tube goes around somthing on each end and one clamp in the middle. just make sure you cut any excess thread past the nut to keep from getting hung up.

on the first version of my set up, I split a piece of 4" tube and welded tabs to bolt the two halves together, the principle being I can push the yoke back into the box and lift the motor/ trans out vertically once the steering gear is swung out the way.
