Default Teething problems

I also have a CR, built in 92' by a guy in Michigan. He did a pretty good job and I'vae had the car for about 4 years now. 351C,Tremec 5-sp,8.8" w/3.50:1. I am ready to disassemble it now to take care of some of the items I never really liked;

1) Steering is Chevette tilt column, crappy shaft/u-joints. Don, how do I get more info on your collapsible unit, pricing? It has a M2 manual rack in the car now. Does your unit come with the shaft and joints or do I have to get those from Borgeson?

2) Clutch cable has a clevis on the pedal end that binds. Just annoying, doesn't affect driveability. Need suggestion for what type of cable should be on this car and how it mounts at firewall.

3) Side pipes have a nasty rattle in them at 1500-2200 rpm. They are JH coated but I think the mufflers are loose inside. Can this be fixed or do I have to replace them? Any suggestions on a good supplier?

4) Does somebody make tubular A-arm kits for this car?

5) What do I need to convert the drum brakes in the rear to disc?

Thanks,

Jim
