Title: U joints for modifying steering shaft for LS1 V8
Post by: florianscholz on July 19, 2015, 02:04:03 PM
I have my LS1 V8 in my Healey 100-6 and due to its width, I have to modify the steering shaft with two u joints. These u joints are sold as 3/4" and the shaft going into the steering gear box is 7/8". I could machine a coupling adapter to make this work. Any other ideas?

Hello Chris I think if you look on ebay you will be able to find the u joints you need pretty sure you can get 7/8" check it out good luck  Bill G

A UA150100 Woodward steering joint weld 5/8" to a 3/4" would probably work for you?
