FB with Miata Torsen

Ok, I have another question for you all.
I am putting a Miata Torsen in my FB and I measured and the drave shaft which will NOT just bolt up to the third member.
So, what do I need to do to change the drive shaft flange?
Will I be changing the backlash, since I am using a part different from what was there?
Do I need to pull the whole thing apart and get a new crush bearing?
What are your thoughts?

I think Chris meant that you take the torsen unit & bolt just it to your original ring gear. You end up keeping your original ring gear & pinion. Then you will be able to use your original driveshaft.

The only other solution is to use a custom driveshaft with the correct flange for the miata's pinon and a yoke that fits your tranny.
C. Ludwig's solution is probably the easiest (in terms of parts you have on hand) and the cleanest. Problem is you gotta know how to setup a rear end. Something I have never attempted...
