Seriously guys,if we're going to give the correct advice it would be to use doubled slip shaft for the column. We do all know what double d slip shaft is don't we? If not I'll look up a link.

I've never been impaled...Obviously since I'm still talking stoopid...But the point IS VALID...
i put a locking clamp on mine behing something sturdy like the dashbar to help it not to move, Plus a tack welded collar/sleeve lower in the column, there is no impact testing...I just gues at the power it would take to break it...I KNOW THERE IS BETTER WAYS TO DO IT...But that is a cheap breaking point

its no problem to slice the shaft and put another uni in it.. will just ahve to wait untill money is sufficient.. unless someone wants to donate, or do some trading..

got part of mty shift linkage done. i thought i needed to bend the rod to clear my oil lines.. but after bending the rod and getting it all put on, i realized it would hav cleared, and i could move the oil line too.. it shifts great though..   i made my pivots with some tube pieces and some delrin in them. with a 3/8 bolt welded to the bottom, and screwed to my floor. i got my chain straight too.

i got some stuff done today after a long time off..  i found the longest clutch cable i could locally find. had to thread the end of the conduit and then rethread the clutch rod cover to accept it.. decided on hand clutch now.. (was foot clutch).. mounted my master cylinder, and got brake pedal done and hooked up. also made two more cage tubes along the side, that are about halfway up my arm in height (while sitting).   still need to brace it all in.  also some pics of my gas tank mounts from earlier this month. the front one is removable..

i got my chain tensioner done. its simple, easy to remove, replace the roller, and adjust, it also utilizes the existing rear engine mount bolt. it doesnt change the direction of the chain adversly either. also got my gas pedal done. the springs i made myself from really stiff stainless welding wire.

got my headers made tonight. i routed two pipes out the passenger side, and two out the driver side. so now im clear on the bottom, and dont have to worry about my exhaust getting slammed by a rock or stump.
