If your Butler has the MGB front suspension and MGB steering shaft, you should have a short length/intermidiate shaft about 9" long 3/4" diameter with 48 splines at both ends. This shaft connects the steering column to the rack and the original MGB universals worked fine with no binding issues.
If you have something custom, and it sounds like you do you will have to be creative. Post some photos of your setup.
I changed my MGB front suspension to an IFS made by FastCars. The setup is a little different and requires a 26" long intermediate shaft. I used a telescoping 3/4"DD with sweets universals to make the connection. The Fastcars IFS is fully adjustable and is also about 80 lbs lighter than the MGB IFS.
