[TR] TR4A Steering shaft

[Greg Lemon]

I tried the the dual metal u-joints solution on my TR250, the lower U joint 
I bought to put on the upper shaft of the car to replace the rubber one did 
not have the right fittings to attach, I am usually pretty good with 
figuring out mechanical problems that you can visualize, maybe I missed 
something, but I decided I couldn't make it work without swapping out 
steering shafts, I am missing something? or Maybe the 250 is different.
