you can also notch your UCA... if you get a piece of 2"OD tubing, say .125 wall thickness, cut the notch out, take a short piece of the tubing, cut it in half, and weld it in, youve got a notched UCA and arent losing any strength. thats what i did with mine, and ive seen 1 or 2 other done that way. keep in mind i did have 1 u-joint and the very top of the steering shaft where it comes through the firewall and connects to the steering column because i was running a firebird tilt column and they come through the firewall at a different angle.
