Default Urgent: Need to know stock driveshaft length

I need to know the length from the end of the trans case to the flat of the pinion yoke for an stock reared, M6 car. I'm getting conflicting answer while searching, and I can't measure myself because I took out the broken driveshaft in a parking lot with only 6 inches to work with. I was lucky enough that my long arms let me get it out, measuring would be impossible.

Sorry to bring back the dead, but would you happen to know what B dimension would be? For a stock 4th gen T56? I've tried to find it in google but I have no idea what you would call that.

Typically 5/8".

Two major coincidences here:

1. This email account is still active

2. I'm actually in the middle of rebuilding my T56 and just went to the garage to measure it.

Mine is 9/16" and is flush with the output seal.
