F-1 box on 39 column

I beveled the edges of mine then welded. AFter that, ground the weld smooth, slid a piece of dom tube over it and welded it solid

Exactly what I would do.

I just get mine lined up good, deeply vee them out and weld it with the mig.

Don't bother with anything over the outside.

You would have to work it back and forth for a million years to fatigue it. Your arms would drop off first.

The worms & sectors interchange all the way up (37-48). I had the shaft shortened ( to fit my 32 sedan) and then pressed into the F1 worm so I could use a 37 Banjo. I'm not a fan of welding ANY steering component no matter who is doing the welding. Not easy to press the F1 worm onto the cut down 37 shaft however.
