...and the diameter of the "solid" bit of the shaft is greater.

I ain't going to argue. but it's fun to prod Bill on his "wrong" button.

Bill, I'll sell you an original Renault 10 spline clutch kit, brand new 
for what it costs me, which includes a trade discount (and a lot  
cheaper than stateside to start with). I'll also supply you, free of 
charge, with a 10 spline input shaft which I have, if you send me your 
"weaker" 21 spline one when you swap it out..
