We've been doing all  that work here in Wisconsin with a real Type 3 
beam and car, with the  steering gearboxes in place. It's tight, but I 
think we have enough  support AND just enough clearance. We removed 
the shield plate in front of  the FI fuel pump, but that can be put 
back if the towing frame is removed,  which should be fairly simple.



Good to hear Jim. I just wanted Gary to be aware of the steering box and  
pitman arm. On my first towbar adapter that I built, I didn't take that into  
account, and had to notch the upper corner to clear the pitman arm. Just 
trying  to avoid some of the issues I'd already ran into. ;-)
