I want to flip my steering box and I can't find any reason not to. I want to cut out front tank support and flip steering box to align steering column and remove extreme angles on tie rods due to low ride height.

| It's past my bedtime, but I think that will reverse your steering. . . |

| Why not just flip the tie rods? |

| I plan on it if I can't flip entire steering box. I was think about this because it would align my steering column without using a bearing shaft. |

Yeah.. and Im up way too early.. but flipping the box ... still reverses the steering.
Hey.. you want a different car.. there ya go..
News at 11....
Could be a very exciting drive.... and theft deterrent..
:lol:
(Noteworthy advice be sure to ad a frame head BRACE)..
Modify the stock steering shaft and use a super beetle (or modern car) double U joint shaft and a lower bushing/bearing.
There are so many ways to adapt steering shafts.
I think you are simply trying to avoid a lower bearing????
Unless it has a self supporting column like a Super Beetle or uses a straight solid shaft it will need a lower bearing and shaft lock.
To support the lower shaft, I used 3 modified shaft lock collars. One in the column tube to support the shaft like a bushing, one locked on the shaft inside the tube to stop downward shaft movement, one locked on the shaft to stop upward shaft movement.
Added in a section of pipe and an intermediate steering shaft from a Pontiac G6.. and was done..
(hint I have more intermediate steering shafts that can be bought)
3 shaft lock collars cost me $18 bucks. The rest was just time..
My first trial mock up .. (now with some welds) .. Still going..

| Why don't you make a gearbox that bolts in between the coupler and the steering box that reverses the direction of the input from the steering wheel? All you need is a 1 to 1 ratio gearbox with an even number of gears in it and it would also make it so that the angle of the steering could wouldn't change without using a u joint |
