And if the driveline is aligned in this preferred manor, this is the Only time you can use the Driveshaft as a Reference point for a Driveline Pinion angle.

Its THIS SIMPLE. Point the tailshaft at the pinion, roll the pinion wherever it needs to be, pull a string, weld the mounts up.....DONE. Monte
