Included is a flexible universal drive joint to accept small errors in alignment. The standard drive is 12" long but drive shafts up to 6 feet are available. The universal joint is modestly priced as it is not new, but for this usage a 'mil spec' government surplus joint is ideal. |
This is a great unit but should have additional items in the kit. It needs an additional mounting plate with screws for the relocated valve body. It needs shim washers for the mount bushing to universal shaft at the selector handle and specifications for clearance of the handle and selector plate.
