are fox mustang steering shafts the same length and swapable with 87-88 birds?
Yeah I just bought a flamming rivers low profile one.. It came "too long" summit advertised it as 13" and this thing was like 15-16" when assembled. I searched on the corral people reported that FR tech support told them to just cut the bar to fit and that some were shipped "untrimmed". That what I did and it went in fine.
If I would do it all over again I think I'd rather have the maximum motorsport one I wasn't too impressed with the set screws and lock nuts flamming rivers uses for the shafts. When installing the instructions say to dimple the shaft with a 1/4" drill bit and than take your setscrew with locktite and tighten, than follow up with a nut to lock it again. This procedure is for 6 screws on the entire shaft. Than it says to inspect frequently, I was like wtf I'd rather put it in and forget about it.
I might take it to our welder in work and have him tac it all together for me for extra protection
wow. thanks. theres some good info there. tac welding it in is a good idea, steering shaft isnt something i want to come loose goign down the road. your thinking this one from MM is the best way to go?

I don't think it will come apart, there isn't alot of room for the parts to move around and slide out anyway if the set screws all got loose on me. I thought about sending it back and buying the MM one but decided on keeping it. Do a search on the MM one Nate says it rusts very quickly and you might want to powder coat or paint it first.
awesome. i think im good to go man. thanks :D
