Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up having to cut off another screw so I am only using two of the originals that were on there. I went to the harware store and got a couple of new screws and bolts to use but they are not screwing into the stearing box threads. Instead they are a little thinner and longer so I could put a bolt on the other side. I also used a few locking washers to thicken it up a bit.

The box seems pretty sturdy, but from ya'lls comments it sounds like this is a bad idea? I guess it would be fine for street driving but not for crawling.

You can take the original bolts to Jackson Bolt and Screw over behind Fondren and they will match the thread pitch for you. Using some other bolt to hold steering in place sounds scary even to this amatuer.

Don't drive it with the smaller bolt setup.
