>I'm trying to fit the rubber steering coupler to my
'69 TR6 and having a bear of a time. I bought the
part from a reputable dealer (TRF) but it seems the
bolt pattern is about 1/8" too wide.
The original coupler had regular two bolts and two
allen headed bolts neither the all bolt or all allen
screw setups the catalogs list. (Its all dried out
and grizzly and frankly I don't trust it).
I'm guessing TRF couldn't get something so basic sooo
wrong so there must be a TRick, can anyone share it
with me?

Steve, the TRick is to get a hose clamp. Since it is rubber it will
compress to allow alignment of the holes. I've also used a pair of Vice
Grip(r) pliers. A C-clamp could also work.
