Thank you, Im glad you noticed I cut the top of the doors down to give it some good body line.

THANKS! You know your right about the rear wheels......they fit better that way ...lol.....they have to much of a back set to fit right, besides there rollers to get around while im welding, dont want to mess up a 300 dollar rim and tire.

Steering box

I had the day off so I decided to tackle a problem that I am having with mounting my steering box. About a year ago I picked up a vega box only to find out that those are primarily used on a cross steering systems. So today I plan to make some sort of bracket that wont look like crap. The mount bosses are on top so I need to come over the top. If anyone has made one I sure would like to see.

Look at some of the better known speed shop catalouqes for some ideas. They all carry some sort of bracket .
Most seem to entail reversing the box as the Vegas are used primarily for cross steer.
Sorry that I couldn't be of more help.

vega box brackets

Thanks Torchie, I wasn't able to find brackets for my vega steering box so I made one. I took almost half the day, but it was still cheaper than buying a corvair box.

Sure glad to see you're getting back on the roadster build. The bracket it is very attractive. How thick is that main spine?

Hey Bob, The metal thickness I used was 3/16, kind of thick but I felt I needed it to be to limit any flex in it. Its basically two pieces 2 in apart with a center strap. I am going to finish it today by adding plat to where it mounts to the frame.

Which way does that box turn when turning the input?
