Here you see the steering column in place inside the dash area.
Here is the pitman arm on the end of the shaft The next photo will show you the depth from where it comes thru the frame to the bottom of the frame.
With a striaght edge across the bottom of the frame this give you an idea as to the exact location I have it in. Just for you to know I make my pivot points on the spindle from center of king pin to rod bolt hole 4.5" then on the steering column from center of column to rod bolt hole anywhere from 2 to 2.5" I went 2.5 initially on this one but moved it in a 1/4". Just a bit more detail for you all to digest.
Here you can see how I gauge where to cut the sfaht off at. I leave it long enough it serves as a stop at full right turn. I don't have a stop for left turn I have never went over and The tire hits the grill before it does so it serves as a stop. I don't use that much left turn. Now the right in counter steering yea I sometimes hit full lock.
here is an overall view of my steering set up with the E.C. Axle. I have been using this setup for going on 5 years now. I love it 1/4 maybe a tad more is all you will ever turn the wheel in a race.
here is a better overall view of the steering and front end with tires on it.
