Arthur,
Got it. I thought you had somehow come up with a way to eliminate the intermediate shaft altogether and only have the one u-joint
That sounds like it should be a much nicer setup. Thanks for the clarification.

So to make a direct connection from the steering column and the rack I choose to cut the cowl and eliminate another U-Joint. I will remold this cutout section with new fiberglass.
Hope my explanation is clear.
