Next I drilled the frame to install the power steering conversion brackets. Of course I had to modify the install instructions, and they didn't give me the correct size bolts. Plus the kit was missing 2 bolts. On the lower bolt hole they want you to notch the frame so the bolt head would have clearance. Instead I screwed a grade 8 stud in the hole, and welded the inside of the bracket. It fit perfect without notching the frame.
