Kooks LT people - need a picture
 
if anyone has kooks LTs can you snap a quick pick from the top side showing where the steering shaft runs through the primaries (or just give a good description of how it feeds up through)?

wanna make sure I have the steering shaft fed through the headers BEFORE putting the engine back as this cause a lot of grief last time around with the stock steering shaft...using a MM piece this time

don't have a picture, however the MM steering shaft will collapse enough to feed it through the headers once you have the engine in the car.

i figured it out...problem is that my kooks are a little tight and the stock shaft wouldnt slip between the tubes. I was able to get the MM piece through the tubes while the engine was still out and just held it out of the way while putting it in place

I had to do the same thing.. It was a massive PITA.. Kinda irritated me having kooks and MM steering shaft are too badass parts that should work togethor!.. i also have a tubular K and offset bushings that might have played a roll in the deal...

It does collapse enough, but the angle that it has to be done at to make it through the kooks is sorta crazy lol.

edit: i heard the older model kooks longtubes dont have that little "tunnel" between the primaries it fishes through.
