Hey, Buschi, Sorry for the late reply, I've been fighting computer problems lately and didn't see the new post on my favorites list...
I need to check my numbers again, but I don't remember thinking that I needed an extended pilot bushing. Even if I did, I don't think I'd worry too much about though. As long as the trans is reasonably well centered, the pilot should see very little if any loads. I'll see if I can find my calculations again. That'll take some work, as we recently converted our "office" in to a room for our second kiddo that's arriving in May. I need to find all my stuff again...
Dion, That is one battleship of a trans X-member! Looks great!
