Not cool! 
Wonder if Dan got to try his out yet? It was his birthday a couple days ago and he has been busy at the autocross track. So he has been busy! Dan how is the new engine?

I don't even want to talk about that. The machinist is coming to the shop to make a housecall today. I put the Road Runner in the back of the shop and put a car cover on it Friday. Co-Drove the R&D 65 Mustang at the SCCA National Tour over the weekend. Road Runner will most likely not be making it to Vegas this year.
As to the sector/arm issue, I'll see if I can get something figured out this week.

I've got the large sector. Don't remember which brand pitman I put on it, but it's a regular auto parts store part.
My engagement isn't much better than yours. I believe I had to thread the nut without the washer, cinch it up, pulled it off, then barely got the nut to thread with the lock washer. The shaft doesn't make it out of the nut on mine. Shouldn't be a safety issue, as it hasn't moved in 6 track days. Ya'll have me curious now if it could cause any bumpsteer issues.

Maybe the issue is simply not enough threads? FWIW my small spline box has 1" of threads and the stock pitman is between 11/16 and 3/4" thick.

Thanks for the reply - I had to do the exact same thing put nut on first, cinch it up, then pull it off to put the lock washer and nut back on. You can see in mine that the nut also doesn't make it all the way through, just glad to here that I'm not the only one, should have went with small sector, looks like the better fit

never heard back - seeing how the only other person with a big sector experinced the same problem it looks like it might be that way for all of them. Lesson here: buy the small sector
Well that sucks that they never responded, not good customer service. They could have at least sent a email saying they would look into it.

he only did that one time and said I had enough thread engagement, maybe they think its not an issue worth looking into?

Any chance that the large sector pitman-arms are slightly thicker in height perhaps? I recall having used a manual steering pitman arm from a Dodge which fit the smallsector Borgbox nicely. This mockup pic is with the pitman arm just pushed on the splines by hand;
