So here is the background...
1410 yoke at the front differential input
2.00" x 1/4" wall square shaft
2.50" x 1/4" wall square shaft
1310 CV at the transfer case (it will be upgraded when I get the new transfer case... this is only temporary)
I got my 1410 weld yoke in the mail today and it has a round hollow weld-side.
It is meant for a 3" round tube to press fit and weld the seam.
I would prefer to take the weld yoke to my mill at work and mill out a space for the 2" shaft to fit completely inside the hollow weld-yoke, MORE than this:
The other option is to butt weld the yoke to the 2.5" shaft like so:
What do you guys think?
I think the advantages to welding to the smaller tube are:

I think the advantages to welding to the smaller tube are:
- mechanical connection in conjunction with welded connection
- with the slip of the shaft pointed at the front axle, water/gunk is less likely to get into the joint
- it would be hard to get the yoke perfectly centered on the 2.5" tube
