It's got the standard steering column with a universal joint welded to a shaft that goes through the firewall, then another universal joint to the steering on the front end. Driving along as the camber changes on the road I hardly have to make any steering corrections it just steers straight ahead r...

Clutch plate can only go on one way, the springs are biased to one side so if its on the wrong way you cant bolt up the pressure plate.
