It all sounds so reasonable... (famous last words)

I figured I'd need to get the OD output shaft; though it's likely not a
common part in stocks, since it can be ID'd by part number places like
Galvin can check easily. With that part the rest is thinkable.

I have a vertical mill, I can make the adapter, even if it's slightly
silly on my small mill. Only gotta make one! Mostly has to be parallel I
think.

Since I have here a non-OD T14 in good shape, and a spare T96+OD in
operable shape, I can consider flaying them both on the bench and
eyeballing it.

Then I'd have to live with whatever the T96 rear-most spline. No big
deal, I have the yoke.
