IIRC it is the intermediate shaft that needs a support bearing. Companies like Borgeson http://www.borgeson.com/index.html produce many universal joints that make adaptation easier. It might make sense to use a double-D shaft for the intermediate as it's easier to get the length adjusted than a splined shaft. You should probably purchase the LVVTA Manual, or at least the steering chapter: http://www.lvvta.org.nz/shop/chapter-7-steering-systems/ This is the place for cert questions

Seems like you need to make the rod longer?

I have ali-x version but haven't used it much - belts seem a bit crap, probably should buy some better ones locally.

Doing the patches is not problem, I have a belt sander setup. It's more about getting the cutouts in the panels done nicely. I want to be close to this good, and I find it hard to do neatly with a cutoff wheel.

I'm wanting to use them to trim the edges of cuts in sheet metal to get good-fitting patches. They should be good enough for that? Not heavy grinding/stick removal.

Good work - that was a fair bit of rusty metal lurking in the corners.

Thanks, went to Twiggs in Welly today, the PPS website is rubbish. Twiggs is researching. They are pricey suckers though https://www.revolutionindustrial.com.au/poliroll-polico-150pc-abrasive-cartridge-rolls-pol

Any idea where I can get something like these in NZ that are rated for a die grinder speed (1/4 shank) and the sanding drums? https://www.unitedabrasives.com/mmi-family/spiral-band-drums/ https://www.unitedabrasives.com/mmi-family/3-4-diameter/ @Truenotch?

My top mounts are just MIG tacked between the plate and pipe. No worries. Only the mods on the front suspension arms need all the TIG and testing.

I've got a cushion I got from the physio, one of these I think https://thebadbackshop.co.nz/collections/lumbar-roll-seat-wedges/products/mckenzie-super-roll Had it for a number of years now and it still does the job. For long trips in old cars I got one of these https://www.betterback.co.nz/lumberjack with the leg straps for driving. Works for me.
