Shafted

[torqued]

while im at work and thinking about it i have a problem

so i sold my spare steering box with out thinking and here is the problem i am having.

the the dash frame i have suits my collapsible steering shaft which bolts to the the dash frame i am using.
but this shaft has a uni at the bottom of it which somehow bolts to the steering box i sold.

the steering shaft that bolts to the steering box i have isn't a collapsible one but bolt directly to my current box
but does not bolt up to the dash frame that is in the car...



if this doesn't make sense ill post pics to make things clearer.

so in asking i want to know what i need to do to use the collapsible steering shaft with the uni joint on the bottom.

really? lame made sense to me
so this is the rubber noise damper thats at the end of it. a uni joint with a male spine attaches to it (which is the part im missing)

hm are you shore this came out off a 1600 ? the bracket on the shaft that bolts to dash looks unfamilar the amount off wires off your indicater stalk is alot and i have a different uj on my l/h 1600 i thought this side off the world didnt have colapseable steering ........my l/h has got it .... the male part you need is the steering box ......

maybe ask martin what he used? I know that overseas cars were big on collapsable comlumns. Wals two door has one too.

the collaspable part is from the datsun i got from the 510 i brought off maldat so i know 100% it bolts up fine. i just sold the box without thinking

Are 180b steering boxes the same as 1600 ones? I know someone who wants a death spear 180B box.
