Steering Shaft

So with the seats trial fitted it was time to move on to something less interesting.

The steering shaft was always going to be a difficult problem to overcome because with a pinto the shaft is just 1 straight bar from wheel to rack, but due to the size of the v6 it just wouldn't work. So after a lot of searching and head scratching I eventually found something called a pillow seated roller bearing and a universal joint. I cut the shaft and added another universal joint so that it would clear the exhaust manifold and then follow down to the rack. Another problem down. A few hundred left to solve.
