    Here are a few more. The threads were long going through the CO tower in regards to the Heim so I cut them as close as I could.

    This wasn't a kit.
    I bought a 4' shaft and joints. I cut/ welded after carefully measuring. The pain was the phasing of the 3 joints.

    Stay away from their kit... it's garbage.
    I did purchase that and the only thing I kept was the shaft IIRC.
    I sent their joints to another manufacturer back east that make joints for NASCAR... they simply laughed.

    As you can see I had to clearence the ujoints for more range. That's a 1979 ford forward swing steering box.

    I tried to swap over to a double joint from Borgenson, It has too much slop. I weld a brace to the factory joint at the intermediate shaft behind the firewall, no luck it just became very bound and tight. I might play with the support angles some more and see if I cannot fix it with what I have. Too much time and not enough success.. Hard to drive an hour just to work on it indoors with my tools, and then have it not work then have to drive back...
