    I spot face as well but I also use medium strength Loc-Tite too. The set screws and lock nuts provided by Borgeson, and probably the others - the screw is way too long and one hit the header and that skinny nut - less then a great way to fasten the screw. I can assure you with bloody and scarred knuckles that this arrangement is tight after having to disassemble my upper u-joint to remove the column for repaint.

    Since these threads are often used as reference without commentary it pays for us to try to cover, whenever possible, unexpected situations/experiences/etc. Here's Borgesons commentary on welding of U-joints; http://www.borgeson.com/DESIGN/STEERING%20DESIGN8.html

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
