Re: Bolt in steering rack

Thanks Broey. As to the motor mount issue, We have done one as a test. We took the front bolt out and marked the other two holes to be drilled. Drilled the two 5/16" mounting bolt holes. - the rear hole went through the motor mount as well. Then, we drilled out the front motor mount hole to 7/8" for the steering shaft, and fit the bearing and shaft. A small amount of die grinding was needed to get the shaft to clear the motor mount plate. We put a small weld, 1/2" long, on the leading edge of the motor mount to the frame. Everything works fine, but this truck now only has about 600 miles on the install, and we would like to see a bunch more. I'll keep you posted, and get a pict next time he comes by.
