Flaming River Mustang Rack & Pinion Cradle Kits 1965-70 - Manual (Page 9)

Manual Rack and Pinion Universal Joint System
1) Install support-bearing mount onto the rear cradle bolt. (Diagram below). Note: The angle of this mount is set for most
applications. Some adjustment may be necessary for the correct angle and u-joint alignment.
2) We recommend the use of ¾” dowel rod to mock up the steering shaft to obtain the correct length of the shafts.
3) Install your shaft kit and snug each set screw so that it will leave a mark in the shafts.
4) Remove shaft and dimple each setscrew mark using a ¼” drill bit. (As shown below.)
5) Re-install the shafts using red high strength thread locker on the set screw threads. Tighten each setscrew to 25 ft. lbs.
Tighten all lock nuts securely. We recommend that you Inspect setscrews periodically for tightness
