I have heard of using a cut down ranger shaft but the vibration issue is such problem with the s197 platform..... The first two DS's I tried vibrated. Could not dial it out. My third attempt the DSS unit actually works, no issues at all. My point it is, good luck trying to build your own, you have a tricky platform your trying to tame.
