Yep. Its not standard gears won't fit, you can't get them in to start with. The HD gears use a 2 piece setup with a hub that allows the gears to slide in.
This has been common practice for a long time.
It's also what I run and it was set up by Tom Bentley at Menkins V-Drives. :)

35 HD gears will fit. You put the top gear on the shaft without the spacer, then the bottom gear, then add the spacer to the top gear. It will take several times to get the spacers correct and gear lash correct. I have never had a v-drive with HD gears that was able to use the same spacer setup. My 8* and 10* billet v-drives will take 54% HD gears easily as I have moved the waterjacket once again to a 6.100 diameter on center of the topshaft.
