[Fot] Steering shaft u-joint TR-4

[Tony Drews]

Any clues on which borgeson stuff fits the splines on the steering 
rack?  Looks like the shaft would be 9/16 - the only one shown is 
9/16 26 spline, and the other end would need a custom shaft (I have a 
choice of 3/4" smooth bore or 3/4" 36 spline it appears).

Looks like the attachment is more of a "set screw" type of deal.  Is 
that better?

I'd love to update to something strong and reliable.

Thanks, Tony
