I recently purchased a used upper leg that had a better gear ratio for my alpha one leg. I believe the one I bought is a pre-alpha and my existing lower unit is alpha one gen 1. Can the "suspected" pre alpha one upper mesh with my alpha one gen one lower unit? They seem to line up but can't seem to get them to fully go together. I have attached photos...
 
i should work...

On the pictures, rule used to be you can post pics after you have FIVE posts...there is a separate 'practice' area....look down at the bottom once you go to the forum home page....
 
How many splines are there on the lowerr units driveshaft, very early drives used an 8 spline and not a 12(13?) spline for later units
