Hey All,
We're looking to switch to manual steering. First of all, any issues with PSTs 20:1 manual box? Seems like a good compromise and I've liked their stuff so far. Is there a better manual box out there for a comparable price?
Second, we're having header clearance issues with the stock coupler. Right now we have the 273 in there, but at some point we're moving to a 440 and are going to have even less room.
I see that when changing from P/S to manual, an adapter is needed to make up for the shorter column. But when going from coupler to u-joint, people need to cut the column to make up for the longer connection. So, if we change from a stock power steering box to a manual PST one, and get a u-joint, what are we going to need to do to make it work? Also, how do people generally attach the column to the joint? I see DD ends, splined ends, and smooth ends on Borgeson universal joints.
Any advice is appreciated.
