Don, Season's greetings to you too.

One other thing to check. If your previous steering setup was MGB steering column to MGB steering rack with the short 8" long intermediate shaft + two universal joints. With no binding.

And now you have MGB Steering column to FastCars rack and the setup is binding.
1: Are you connecting directly from MBG Steering to Fast cars with one new custom length intermediate shaft + 2 universal joints.

2: Are you using old 8" intermediate shaft and another custom intermediate shaft + 1 more universal. Total 3 universals

3: Are the universals properly phased?

EDITED 2015. I changed my intermediate shaft between the MGB column and the FastCars IFS.. I used a DD sliding shaft. Highly recommend this method as the steering is BEAUTIFUL and she goes where you point her.

Arthur
