Don, I could view your photo. It's pretty much what I said, although I didn't see any real reason to drill all the way through the double-D.

Jack,
I did exactly as you describe on mine, and will do the same on the '32 I'm working on today. The "deep dimple", set screw and lock nut is what all of the reputable steering component companies recommend. As I recall I added a drop of blue LockTite for grins. I agree, I don't see any reason to cross drill all the way through the shaft and U-joint, and I don't care for the added bulk on the OD.
