Here you can see the stock hole in the firewall.


This plate will cover the hole and mount the intermediate shaft support.





The steering shaft support has a spherical bearing with 25* of misalignment. I bent the plate slightly to accomodate the contours in the firewall. I will get some final pictures later.

Here are the pictures of my bracket for the quickener. It will mount the quickener and two pillow blocks for the steering column. This should end up have very little flex.

It started out as 4x4x1/4 square tube. I love the IMS scrap pile.





Its amazing what you can do with a wood cutting bandsaw and an aluminum blade.

Here are some installed pictures. I only have one of the pillow blocks installed. And the quickener is not installed either. I still need to cut and spline the original steering shaft.
