was 2960 lbs...I was pretty shocked thinking the car might be lighter but this is similar to what other people on the forum have had as well

I looked up an old post when I did away with the 5mph bumpers and weighed at the local recycler scales and the weight was 2959 with me in it. I weigh 205 lbs...so 2754 lbs.

Then I wrapped the metal around the joint and installed the two hose clamps one on the larger tube and one on the smaller one. The clamps are strong enough to compress the sheetmetal around each tube and form a pretty good seal. So I ended up with a stepped piece of sheetmetal tightly wrapped around each tube diameter. I turned the clamps so that the screw is barely visible so it doesn't look to odd.

Can you unbolt and rotate the flow control valve on the steering box so the fittings point off to the side instead of straight up?
Cheers,
