More waiting..........

Received the parts today from Borgeson and, unfortunately, the configuration I was planning this time doesn't work either.  Looks like I'm not going to be able to get away with a 1-2 universal joint system.  Getting around the motor mount is forcing me to use a 3 joint configuration which means I'll have to support one of the shafts with a fitting from the frame.  Also, the anti-vibration joint I planned to used right at the rack and pinion won't work either.  That joint is about 3/4" longer than a standard joint which runs the u-joint right into the motor mount.  Looks like the anti-vibration joint will have to be the one coming off the steering column.  Blair at Borgeson has been a great guy to work with and is getting the new components out right away via ups.  The first two shipments made it here in a 2 days so I'm hoping to have parts in hand on Fri.
