I had 3/4" round shafts with the Borg joints . The joints were connected to the shafts with a countersunk 5/16" bolt through joint and shaft. A small amount of slop. Everything was lock-tited together. When the car was appart I could get to the adapter from steering sector and to the first joint off with a little help from a torch. I converted mine to polished SS 3/4" round with 36 spline .I had to order two 3/4" polished SS splined shafts ( 6" and about 23) two polished SS U-joints and and a polished SS 3/4" 48 intrenaly spilned adapter .The longer shaft I had to get a machinist to extend the splines about 3/8" on one end. I cut the shorter shaft into two pieces, 2" and 4 " . The 2" piece went in to a straight adapter 3/4" 48 spline internal one end and interanally drilled 3/4' smooth to the middle of the length..I counter bore the smooth end of the adapter and had the splined two inch piece welded into it with one inch smooth inside and the splined end protruding one inch== 3/4" round 48 internal spilned to 3/4" round 36 spline external adapter that went over the 48 splined secter shaft and into the first universlal joint . I cut 4" off my steering colum shaft . The newly cut end of the steeringcolumn and the 4"remainder of the cut splined 3/4" 36 polished SS shaft I turned down to points for welding solid ,absolute penatration.I allready had a functioning steering I just had to recreate it in polished SS.Still cost five hundered dollars and took the better part of five weeks. I had a pro welder do the Tiging. I did the cuttung and turning.Not to mention the calling ,orderering paying , crawling ,shoving , planning,prying ,scraping ,sweating.waiting, and so on.
