THANKS GREG NO GOOD ON THE FLOOR PAN ITS GONE .CAN I ASK WHAT DIDNT YOU LIKE ABOUT THAT STEERIN SETUP .THANKS STEVE

Bat62,
Sorry I didnt mean the steering was bad if thats the way it come across
No it was actually quite good the only real drama is if any of the joints are worn or sloppy it tends to magnify the slop, 3 knuckles plus the retainer bearing need to be in good condition.
My mates torana was only just finished I did the steering months beforehand, but his sister took the car without him knowing and the throttle jammed wide open, something on his list to check before he actually drove it on the road. A very short but sweet life for the torana.

Regards Greg

Bat62,

I have a similar setup on my Fb and that is a pat gardner system, the only difference I can see is I have one less uni.
Mine is using a commodore column and cut down VB Commodore rack and has a uni coming out of the fire wall and another uni on the rack.
there's a picture of it in my thread here
