No problem at all! Happy to share info. When I did my first sas there was 100s of builds to mimmick, copy and get ideas from. This one has been one giant "figure it out"
Going to test the final power steering setup this weekend, depends on how much Christmas stuff I end up doing. I'll try to post some pictures, but I have tried several times lately and I can't get any to post.
Hoping to soon! In fact I've been trying to upload some pictures this morning, but it keeps saying the files are too large.. but they are smaller than other pictures I've posted. I might have to use a hosting website.

Rear is in and done, I have a front shaft being built right now with 1310 ujoints and double cardon on the tcase side. Should have it next week for test fit.
