On the way there
So I had a day off and decided to tackle the final fitment of the powersteering into it's new home. I have everyting in place, the box end clamped down but I need to weld the upper u-joint to the stub of the steering shaft.
The positioning is terrible. Now I know why my last conversion was welded so poorly at this spot. There is essentially no way to get the welding gun into position. I tried from below, no dice, above the booster is in the way. I do not want to rely on the set screw only to keep the shaft in place. The welds also need to be good. Any advice from the pros?
Here are a few pics to clarify:
The last pic shows the 1/2 of space between the shaft and the motor mount that was discussed in another thread.
