    A rocker stud will work when you need a 7/16 x 3/8 bolt, but not available in SS

    Hi Ken,

    If I am getting the picture correct you are going to mount the Schroeder high for foot clearance then use a chain box to drop the steering low on the cowl to exit the cowl to a near horizontal position for the drag link. Although for a different steering set up, that is similar to what I am using, a steering offset box to clear the headers, for my 34 3 window re build. My prototype box uses a three gear set up but I will build the final box using a chain drive that I think will work better and will be easier to build. Keep up the great posts.

    Jack.

    That would be to long for where I was going with mine. I would rather use something already available than going to all the trouble of making one. I will polish mine when I tear it apart to detail it.

    Ken,

    I don't have a pic of the open box, just this one of the box mounted on the firewall. It consists of the input shaft and gear connected to the steering column, idler gear, and output shaft and gear. This one works but I will make a better (stronger) box for the final version that will be a chain drive. Will use this till the other box is made,

    Jack.
