Need some steering confirmation.

Im currently installing the steering column and had to purchase column and brackets seperately. Since I did not unbolt column myself I dont know if its right.

Does the gray bracket look right?

Does the column seem in the right position(too high or low)?

I have a mustang rack and borgeson joints and shaft.

I need to know if this right so I can cut the steering shaft to correct length.

I will be elimnating the fire wall brackets as soon as I shave the firewall and will be installing a billet firewall mount. I have heard that you can bring column lower for more arm clearence (or belly). What you guys think?

Options 1:
Leave at factory position.

Option 2:
Adjust lower for more clearence. (Please let me know of seconary issues with this modification).

Thanks

Re: Need some steering confirmation.

This may give you some ideas. This is how we get the column lower/closer to the dash.

Re: Need some steering confirmation.

There should be a slot in the top of the column that interfaces with a nib on the bottom of the dash bracket to set to distance front to back.

Under hood stuff is right.

If the under hood is right then the inside should be aswell.

Just to make sure...The two indentions the column has next to brackets...Are those stopping points or do they fit inside the bracket?

Everthing looks right to me but im just trying to avoid a mistake.

Thanks for everybody's help!
