My '52 frame also measures 8-1/2" end to end with the crossover shaft removed.
I get 2-11/16" from the right side, inboard to the center of the grease zerk hole.

52-Gonzo!---Make sure when shaft is installed it has no SIDE to side play!--You will find that the pedal side & rod going to rearbrake Have side pull on them!--This is where they wear-out!--Put bushings in if play is .020 or more!,-& usualy its more!---Also do not over grease the shaft!--If installing -you already have it greased by hand!--So Check on it from time to time-& you will see the crud build-up on both ends!--Wipe Clean & usually 1 to 2-pumps is all that nessesary!.---Respectfully---RICHIE
