The steering is now complete. I'll get pictures soon. I had to enlarge the hole for the steering shaft at the front bulkhead by about double towards the midline to accomodate the steering shaft angle dictated by the rack location.

A friend of mine machined a spacer for the end of the steering column to resist in/out sliding of the steering shaft. It inserts into the end of the steering column and rides on the edge of the Flaming River U-joint.

It should work out really well, but it uses the stock 1960 steering wheel. It's very "sleeper" but I'm afraid I'm going to have to do it all over again with something I can use the Porsche 996 Tiptronic steering wheel on.
