The hole for the steering coulumn got bigger after moving it. I cut the coulumn, welded in a plug and put in a bronze bushing and a borgeson joint from an astro van. Next day I'll do more on the firewall. 5135984-DSCN1957.JPG (83 downloads)

Also, that joint is not a "borgeson" joint, Borgeson is an aftermarket parts supplier, what it is is a U joint out of an astro van, which is nice recycling cause had you actually bought a U joint from Borgeson it would have cost you a lot more. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

They've been around for a VERY long time... http://www.borgeson.com/HISTORY/History.html 2 Demons...no, not my kids!
