I would call Ididit and ask. They are on the internet. I'm using an ididit column, but it's made for the Electric steering that I added. It's shorter for the application.

 

Yeah. I’m going to reach out to them tomorrow. I had an initial conversation with them before I my purchase and they guided me toward this particular column when using Borgeson. Hmmm

 

Bet they know how to remedy the situation.

 

I’m guessing a universal instead of the rag but we’ll see. Thanks for the Sunday evening reply.

 

Ok. So both ididit and Borgeson tried to be helpful but in the end had no solution telling me there were variances in the tolerances of these cars that were likely the culprit. But that isn’t making much sense to me. I either need a shorter rag joint or a fire wall mounting plate with a collar. I think classic performance products makes a shorter rag joint. But does anyone know of a fire wall mounting plate with a collar.

 

"or a fire wall mounting plate with a collar "

You should be able to buy that component from Ididiit or EPAS Performance that makes the electric steering kit that I used. It comes with the fire wall mounting plate with a collar. I'd cal EPAS and ask about that item. Their phone # 941 893 5427 . They are good about answering and getting you fixed up.

 

Yep...it's a problem. I had to use a solid coupler rather that the rag joint to gain an extra 1 in or so. The rag joint is simply to reduce vibration to steering wheel. I don't feel any issues. BTW, I've got a brand new rag joint if anyone needs one..

 

Thanks. Can you send me the link of the solid coupler you used ? 11/16-36 by 3/4-36 right. I only need an additional 3/8 of reduction. Anything more is insurance. I too am now the proud owner of a bran new, completely useless rag joint.

 

I can't recall, it's been so long, I believe it was a 3/4-36 spline to DD. Forum won't let me post the pic... Summit part # 313449 Borgeson universal coupler.

 

Thanks groho !

 

Just to close out this conversation, I just purchased the CPP rag joint from Summit which is about 1/2 shorter than the Borgeson so that should be enough to close the fire wall column gap. I really appreciate your replies and direction. The part number is RJC-736636. 11/16-36 X 3/4-36 if anyone ever needs one. Summit will take the Borg. Rag back. They’re pretty darn good about returns.
