Replacing the damper is a flanged spline that is bolted directly to
the flywheel using the same bolts (longer bolts required) that attach
the flywheel to the counterweight.  The spline is a different spec (15
splines instead of 30) so it is not compatible with the RD-1 damper
but the new shaft itself is backward compatible with the remainder of
the drive.  I retrofitted the same RD-1C that was on my RV-4 for these
tests.

Did this change increase the distance between the rear of the gearbox
and front of the engine?  Specifically, is there room to slip in an
inline generator without  modifications of the system?
