Well the deer season is over for now, but now I can get the hunting stuff put away and get back to working on the X.
We are getting some nasty weather here today rain changing to ice/sleet/snow. Heard the weatherman use a new phrase this morning, "flash freeze" that can't be good!
Time for some car hockey in the Danger Ranger tonight going home.
I was waiting for that Justin! I actually got everything cleaned up and put away. Now just finding where I left off.

VIKINGS WIN!!!!! SKOL What a game
Yep!
I watched it...didnt think it was going to end well.
Took 10 years of my life!
Well I finally got 100% back in the garage for the GTX! I made some spacers that go under the seat brackets. I made enough for 2 sets so if anyone needs a set I'll hook you up cheap!
I think the washers are for retention of the spacers during install only so I would think you could use a oring as well.

Dug out the head rests.
I put rubber on the posts and bubble wrapped them then double boxed them up to ship to Not just Headrests in St. Louis to be refinished. Be very carful shipping old plastic/vinyl parts as they can crack easily.

Also got the steering column pulled apart to paint and put new bearings in.
First I started at the bottom, removed the rollpin
next I went to the other end and removed bolts and screws for signal switch & light for indicator.
Make sure to remove the circlip before using bearing puller (bought from Mega Parts) other wise it could damage threads. Don't ask how I know.
Bearing comes out easy so if it's tough investigate or consult manual.

The removed bearing had a rubber cover not supplied with the new bearing, clean and reuse or buy new.
You need to remove the terminals from the connector to remove the signal switch. make note of wires and locations before disassembly.
Tere is then a set screw to loosen before you can remove the selector collar it is kinda hidden.
Make sure to het the gear selector spring out of the pocket also(right by set screw.

When you said you were back on the X, you weren’t kidding lol.
Yep, got the 3 pieces to blaster, outer tube, shifter tube, and main shaft. Going to cabinet blast the selector cover, and upper housing. I'll probably need to partialy assemble it to see how much I need to modify the main shaft length for the borgson gearbox.
Made a template so I can come up with a driveshaft loop. With the Gearvendor it needs to be right about where the front and rear floorpan overlap. Still thinking on it,

I think mine is about 4” behind the front u-joint.
I was going to ask you I was looking while under there my pinion is a little off center in the tunnel to the drivers side. Is your green car centered or is it off a bit? Also what diameter is your driveshaft on the green car?

It’s off centered a little. I’ll jump under there and measure the shaft diameter tonight. My CRS prevents me from knowing lol.
Me too!

Looks like 3”
3" off center or 3" driveshaft?

Moving right along. Looks good!
My Borgson gearbox came with an adapter connector that let me connect the factory shaft without any length modifications.
