Default Aluminum d/s install issue

As most of you guys know, I did an IRS swap a couple of months ago. For my birthday I got an aluminum d/s! YAY! While my friend and I were attempting the swap, the driveshaft was just a little too long. Too long to force it in, not like I wanted to do that anyways. What part do I need to get my d/s? Do I need some cobra yoke or what? help me out guys.

I had the same problem. I took the yoke off the part that slides into the Trans off my old one and put it on the new DS. If you do not have a press or know how to remove U joints just take it to a shop it is a maybe 5min job.
I posted this pic in a thread a few month ago. but nobody reads my threads you can see the difference in length between the 2

Thanks Bramas, god i was about to think that with all of these views and no one knows how to do this. I called the place where I got the d/s from and they said I needed the pinion flange from a cobra for it too work.
