All good suggestions worth exploring. I’ll see which one will work better for me. Also may opt for something a little different for an exhaust manifold. Stand by.

i mounted the column higher in the dash though, so the u joints are further from the manifold, and the manifold ist bolted down yet either

Thanks for the pics Joedoh. I like the dual joint setup. Did you run into any issues after you got it running?
