Got a bit of vibration in the steering wheel, my neighbour thinks I may have the steering couplings out of phase
I used pipe dope on the threads, maybe I should have used Loktite
Pipe dope is fine, as long as you don't let it run and hang. You gotta smear it or clean it up with your finger, like when you do caulking. I see he has the proper 1/4"-NPT set screws there! I hope he used a left hand thread pipe nipple, you know so he can adjust the play in the steering! I would have used 3/8"NPT myself, given the tight clearance to the exhaust manifold.That thing must hook up like crazy....in reverse! LOL!

Thanks for the input
i couldn't find a left/right combination nipple so it is just a normal right hand nipple but I used left hand threaded bolts on the rag joint
axeually I thot the chain driven steering column was kinda cool ,,,, but I think with frame flex / twist etc it needs some kinda tensioner . BUT usually you put the tensioner on the slack side , so you would have to put one on each side of the chain , or maybe I,m just over engineering it .
Every time I see a set of reversed slapper bars , It makes me wanna go and re read the instructions on my cal trac set up for my gremlin drag car ..77.
