Phil, Maybe on the test track sooner than later! I have to reassemble my steering and have one mystery to solve - there was a gasket/shim between the steering wheel mount on the frame and the steering box - it got blown away by the overzealous sandblast maniac (me) a few years ago. I also found some horseshoe shaped metal shims when I removed the steering box. have a remnant of the gasket/shim that looks like stiff gasket material, but is as thick as two sheets of standard paper. Did you crack open your steering box or remove it from the frame? If so, was there a gasket or shim? Any guesses on the material of the gasket and dimensions?
I am guessing the shim provided fine alignment/adjustment and the metal horseshoes general alignment.
Anyone out there who can determine the composition of the shim material and recommend replacement material?
