are you not putting a small UJ thingy where the spacer is just infront of the steering box (just mine has) or as youve fitted it at an angle it'll be alright?

Nah I'm just using the rag joint, with the wedge the shaft on the steering box is lined up with the steering column like the standard stering box is :thumbup:

i ran into a few issues tonight, i flxed it up to measure for my shock and upon closer inspection realised that my tyres were hitting the inner arch at the rear. I noticed the front did the other day but that just needs a bit of trimming :hack:

So i best get my ass in gear and rebuild my sammy axles pretty quickly :smokin: the extra width should sort the rubbing out.

some clearer pics of it flexed up :guns:
