Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Thanks Guyz...

Had a bit of a setback...
Seems in my rush to get the steering box mounted, I measured something wrong… When I started to find the right placement for the center link, I found that no matter where I place it the pitman arm is a bit low...
After another trip to look at the old bent frame, it seems I need to raise the rear of the box about a quarter of an inch… That should eliminate the Tie Rod rubbing the Lower control arm issue that I found after getting the box and adapter plate bolted and welded in place...
Note to self… Slow down and check everything before making sparks and melting metal…

The Saga continues...
