Don't get me wrong the setup looks ok, it's just the angles look steep to me.
I'll measure the angles this morning. It all seems to work smoothly but they do look a little steep. I moved it all around and couldn't get a better angle - yet. That's why I posted it - this is my first time installing the steering and want to be sure I'm thinking about it right. I think I can also possibly look cutting a new hole for the column to go thru down a little lower?

Thanks!
