you know anyone with a lathe?

it can be done pretty easily if spun up 'true' in a lathe and the end machined of, end uni taken out, pipe adjusted to correct length, uni put back in and zipped back up.. i've modified mine that way... although i went to longer driveshafts but the principals the same...

:D
