Power Steering Box

[MLB2021]

I've been giving some consideration to the Borgeson retrofit power steering box, but it requires shortening the steering shaft itself, which is not something I am really keen on. Whenever I change something on my '67 J-code car I only do it if I can put it back to original, and with the orginal parts.

So, that all being said, I seem to recall reading on the Forum quite some time ago that there is another brand of retrofit box available that requires absolutely no modifications, so true plug 'n play. I can't find the post but does someone happen to recall seeing the post?

All help will be greatly appreciated.

No offense meant but it surprises me when I hear of another person that hasn’t heard…
Bergman Auto Craft sells a swap kit that includes a hybrid type coupler that allows you to install a Borgeson box with no cutting.
Bergman Auto Craft is a sponsor of this site too.
Look him up.

I used the Borgeson on my 68. I simply collapsed the main shaft then re-pinned it. No cutting.

Bergman's Borgeson swap kit doesn't require the steering shaft to be cut.

Same here. Keep your $150

The spline count and shaft size is probably different on the Borgeson unit. I haven't bothered to measure and check.
Yeah, you could collapse the column shaft and just use the U-joint coupler but then you lose the plunge capability of the factory coupler.

Oh well, we die like real men... no air bags! LOL

Ha....
I wasn't thinking of safety as much as I was thinking of the vibration reduction.

If I crash his thing that hard I don't want to be alive to see the wreckage anyway.
