I have extensively been there on shimming requirements of Borgeson on our E Body. The angle at my steering shaft into the coupler was my clue that led to the solution of the myriad of issues that I had in my frustrating ride into this rabbit hole.

A search of my earlier postings will bring up the threads,,,,likely some 2 years ago. Photos also posted.

As I recall, I used 1/4th or was it 3/8ths steel stock on the 2 bolt side of the box, between it and the frame. Drill the holes, then cut slots so as to allow you to slide the shim in without the need to remove the bolts. Steel stock you can buy at any Home Depot.

72 Swinger was dealing with shim issue about the same time. Hotchkis too was dealing with his own issues about then.
