When the previous owner fitted a rope cutter, a 20mm thick spacer was put in between the gearbox and propshaft flanges to create enough room for the cutter. I now want to fit a flexible coupling. This is half an inch thicker than the spacer. So, if I replace the spacer with the coupling, the shaft will move another half inch backwards. It's a 1 inch diameter shaft. Will this be a problem?
Shortening the shaft will be tricky as it has a bolt through it and the coupling. I don't want to have to drill a second hole through the shaft.
