Factory Five Racing GTM Supercar Assembly Manual page 248

The assembly is installed from the cockpit side, carefully snaking the joints and shaft through the lowest
hole on the pedal box mounting plate.
The lower universal joint now gets attached to the steering rack. This joint is splined and the Hex set
screw has to be aligned with the groove on the input shaft on the steering rack. Loosely attach this
universal joint now as well.
Using the supplied 5 / " hardware (FFR# 11024, 13963), loosely fasten the bearing's mounting flange to
16
the pedal box mounting plate.
Once all the universal joint and bearing retainer bolts are loosely installed, make sure the linkage does not
bind and the steering system is functional. At this time, tighten all the Hex set screws and then tighten the
½" nuts to lock the set screws in place on the universals. We recommend using loc-tite on all steering
bolts, including those with jam nuts.
Before the Corvette upper steering shaft is installed, the steering column adapter plate (FFR# 25760) must
be placed on the Corvette steering column in between the steering shaft housing and the mounting plate
(telescoping column shown).
