The difference between 5/8" and 16mm is almost inconsequential.

5/8 is 0.625". 16mm is 0.6299". 0.0049", or just a hair under 5 thousandths. It's not a big deal.

Literally splitting hairs, here.

Danny, the reason I suggested this to Mike, is he already has the really nice double u-joint. Why use a Kia on one end, an Empi on the other, when he already has the joint, just needs to make an adapter for the 60 spline to the 5/8”-36 spline?

The rag joint connector looks interesting.

As an aside, a bunch years ago I remember seeing a car that had a slight misalignment in the shaft, much like we are seeing here. The guy used 2 VW rag joints separated by about 2”.  He said it worked great.
