I hope you don't mind the questions as you post your build. I'll be starting my first from scratch build soon and am eager to learn.
I just hacksaw the tip off the stinger & dress on the face grinder of my belt sander.
I usually go as far as in the picture. You'll want to have enough length to support the propshaft as much as you can
Yes, you need to shorten the bushing
