Had to get a u-joint from Flaming River. I think it was a 5/8X36C to 1" Double-D (has to be the C to fit a MOPAR). Also had to get a 12" section of 1" Double-D shaft. The Jeep column will "almost" bolt up under the dash. Its mad to be held by larger bolts so I drilled out the blind nuts on mine and used 3/8 inch grade 8 bolts and nuts. The second part of the support under the dash I did away with. Where it goes thru the floor was the tricky part. the Jeep column is smaller in diameter than the old MOPAR so I needed a larger gasket to fit around it. I used some compressed fiber material used for heavy machinery packing that I got from a tool and die shop. Worked fine but if I hadn't used that I would have used a piece of 3/8 fuel line. Its the right size and holds the column steady. Naturally the electrical was easy wince I was going with a whole new EZZWire kit anyway.
