    Ok, serious question now about steering linkage ...

     



    During my test fit of the mid 70s Granada / Monarch column to steering box from the same, I'm confronted with this kind of line up "issue". So here are a couple of questions:

    1. This Ford column has the rag joint on the end of the "tube", I haven't looked "up the tube" but was wondering how you would connect a U-Joint to this and then to the box?

    2. Is this too sharp of an angle to use a double joint on?

    3. Would you think I should cut the column back a bit and use a u-joint with shaft to another u-joint?

    4. Heim Support in there too?

    Let me know what you suggest if you don't mind!

    Thanks much!
