Hi Batdan,

Just finished the steering on my DRB.

I had the same question and contacted Peter at GT40 Australia, as he now runs DRB.

Basically you just grind or cut the narrow tip off. If you do this you will find that the notch (flat spot) in the Pinion is in the correct spot for the uni joint to fit without any further modifications.

I think the reason it is not in the manual is that some V8 Toranas's already had the modification done and they must have based the manual on one of those.

Let me know if you are still not sure and I'll be happy to explain in more detail or send you a diagram.
