Default Extending the shaft...

Should be a fairly easy process and can be tried out in gradual steps.

Outside tube can be cut and a overriding sleeve easy enough to make. similarly the inner shaft can be cut and sleeved.... a tight fit would allow to slide the try various lenghts before deciding if it is worth welding both components to a permanent setting.

How about totally modifying the tube/shaft with hot rod steering Ujoint that
would eliminate any needs for spacer/wedges...?

In my mind first prize goes to our friend in Texas who converted his F8 to a Ford C6 automatic transmission ......... he was determined to drive it.

For me diet and age shrinkage is within easy reach!!!!
