> Have you thought about a swivel socket. May be able to find right ODs

No, I definitely don't want a pair of U-joints in there, and I don't want
any more trouble mating to the driveshaft.

I saw a guy once who used a swivel socket and just welded the back end of
one to his driveshaft, not caring about the splines and such. But the
U-joint is actually fairly beefy and obviously designed for the load.

I mean, if that's what I want to do, I could just weld up any shaft to any
other shaft. Which I'm also tempted to do. But it's a drive component and
I'm a crappy welder, so I worry about it being brittle (hardened shaft) and
shattering.

Either way I have to machine or weld something.
