This confirmed all my measurements and made sure it wasn't another issue.

Now, I am going to maching the new input shaft down to all the correct measurements so that I can put a full pilot bushing back in to replace the one I step cut.

I didn't like the idea of the spacer and my bell actually measured a depth just shy of 7" (6.950 to be exact) so I did not get a bell that was 7.050 depth as advertised.

Just another day of fabrication!
Same things I did except I didn't have an extra input shaft and I'm using a pilot bearing rather than a bushing.
