Here's the steering shaft. The stock outer housing has been shortened and will need to be shortened some more, and the main steering shaft has been shortened as well. It will have the intermediate piece slipped inside it and welded. Residing inside the housing is a machined Delron(if I remember correctly) bushing that limits lateral movement of the steering shaft. A new bushing will be machined and pressed into the end of the housing to rub up against the Ujoint to limit in/out play of the steering wheel. Don't tell anyone, but the Ujoint is AMERICAN!!! Its a Flaming River hot rod one, but I could only find a guy that made standard splines on shafts, no metric. Ever try to find someone that makes splines? If you want to spend LOTs of time, give it a try someday.

by the way, i'm ordering the 993 rear suspension assembly on Mon. the 28th and i got my ej20tt a month ago. The biggest thing i'm saving up for so i can really start fabbing up some shizzle is the 6 speed g50. Too bad its $3500 then 1100 for a lsd, with 500 hp and 400 lb/ft of torque, i don't want to worry about 1 wheel burnouts. Good luck with your project, its looking great!

The steering is now complete. I'll get pictures soon. I had to enlarge the hole for the steering shaft at the front bulkhead by about double towards the midline to accomodate the steering shaft angle dictated by the rack location.
A friend of mine machined a spacer for the end of the steering column to resist in/out sliding of the steering shaft. It inserts into the end of the steering column and rides on the edge of the Flaming River U-joint. It should work out really well, but it uses the stock 1960 steering wheel. It's very "sleeper" but I'm afraid I'm going to have to do it all over again with something I can use the Porsche 996 Tiptronic steering wheel on. Jason

Tiptronic? You don't have an auto, do you? Just want the buttons for something else?

I figured I could use one of them for the volume control, and the other to shoot laserbeams!!! Seriously though, 2 possiblities, full track/volume control, or they have this sequential shifter that comes out of racing that could be used to shift. I'm thinking those buttons will be used for volume control for a LONG time before that tranny will get into this car though!

Darren, sweet looking panel in your avatar.
LLB, be careful about getting too new of a box. Make sure you can get it adapted over. "I think" the watercooled 911s have a completely different bellhousing. They are not gonna be any stronger than the older boxes but might create unessecary costs that you could use elsewhere. Jeff-
