After a mere 6-months or so, I finally got my Unisteer R&P installed in my '65. This note is mainly to thank Snakestang65 for the outstanding write-up, and to endorse his approach. I had similar header clearance issues (JBA shorties on mine), and the third u-joint approach works great to resolve it. Denny at Unisteer was, once again, helpful in identifying the right solution. Actually, I gave the right part numbers to him (rather than vice-versa) from Snakestang65's writeup...
The car's only aligned as accurately as a few strings and tape measures in my garage will allow, but I took a quick blast up the road. It's a different car - all of the annoying steering play and wander is gone (I found it intolerable, even in the Flaming River steering box I had installed), response is outstanding and steering effort is modest. I'm looking forward to taking it to the track in a couple of weeks.
Thanks again, John.
