67 Fastback - Project Dalamar

Like all the custom fab. should be an awsome car. Just a heads up, I had the same front end on my '70 and had some issues with the coilover mounts. The adjustable pieces would never stay in place and I eventually had to tack them to keep them where I wanted them. and over time the vertical piece that holds the coilover mount began to bend inward, so you may want to reinforce that if possible.



I also had a little trouble keeping the Rod and Customs supplied U-joints tight on the sterring shaft. nothing ever came apart, but it was a neusance since it frequently caused there to be a little play in the wheel. I had the manual rack so I'm sure there was a lot of force put on the steering shaft at times. Hopefully you will have better luck with the power rack.

I've had the same problem with Borgeson steering joints. Even with loc-tite those little set screws seem to back off after a while. I've thought of using normal bolts and safety wiring them, but always worry the wire could somehow bind on the joint at a bad time, although its hard to imagine safety wire being strong enough to bind the steering. Just keep an eye on them and if you're steering feels sloppy check there first.
