[Fot] TR4 steering setup

[Brad Kahler]

The Borgeson steering joint for the lower joint on a spitfire is Summit
part number is BRG-011212 (steel).  They also list a stainless one for more
money.  This joint is the one that is used on the TR4.

The only issue I had with it is it uses a set screw to hold it in place.
 The set screw lands right on the splines on the steering rack input shaft
so I used a high speed grinder to create a flat for the set screw to land
against.
