Re: Any input on CPP steering conversion for 60-62

I used all CPP parts in doing the steering conversion, and xmember swap.

The steering plate wasn't perfect. I had to do some drilling and grinding to make it fit. Also, be prepared to make your own sleeves for the frame. Our frames are boxed and the rails want to collapse somewhat if too much torque applied to the bolts. So, I used short lengths of pipe and drilled bigger holes on the inside and slid the pipe into the frame, then welded in place.

ALSO be sure to do this on the idler arm side. The frame will crush and your idle arm will go to a silly angle if you don't sleeve the frame there too.

The CPP conversion plate is an ok place to start, but be prepared. There's fab work to do. It's not plug and play.
