Costello twin universal steering shaft

[Geof Pile]

Hi. I have a 1974 (Not a Costello) V8 (Rover 3.5)MGB RHD Roadster which had an annoying problem in that the rear right hand exhaust header bolt would hit the steering shaft when the engine rocked. I have now fitted a stabiliser which seems to have reduced the problem but I believe that Ken Costello modified the geometry by cutting the shaft and fitted a second universal  to give more clearance for the header bolt. I believe he would have fitted a different steering rack assembly or changed the rack mounting thus changing the shaft angle.
Can anyone send me any details and hopefully a photo or two.
Cheers
Geof

Can anyone help Geof? Must be some grease monkey Costello owners out there somewhere.....

Hi Geof Do you have this sorted now? If you need a photo of the double joint let me know, mines out the car at the moment. Paul

Hi. Paul.
Thanks.
I would appreciate a photo or two.. I have improved the situation by fitting a stabiliser bar to the engine but that is not really fixing the problem as there is interference with extra engine movement.
