Yes. You could also contact Tom (Dr So watt) Hanson, as they guy who narrowed 
his trailing arms, used to use AT axles in his conversion. According to Tom, 
he doesn't do that any more though (narrow trailling arms).

The Bentley manual gives a length for just the axle AND the assembled 
distance of the CVs on the axle.  I got the measurements straight out of my 
book that I now keep next to the computer.: ) I even looked thru the AT 
section before I posted, but only found the info on the MT cv's. I hope this 
helps and clarifies things a little more.
