@Tom Gilchrist posted:Access to the top of the steering box? Working on my Sand Rail has me spoiled. Once I lift off the body everything is right there to work on. On the Spyder, the top of the steering box is within 1/4" of the bottom of the frunk. Should I add an access panel there?

You can just reach it with a right angle screwdriver and open-end 13mm, although an access panel makes it MUCH easier. You shouldn't have to mess with it often.
The front adjustment can also be reached with a custom hex wrench and a 41mm open-end. The pictures are on here somewhere of the tool I made. The custom wrench consists of a cut-down 7/8"(22mm) nut welded to a bent(30 degrees or so) piece of 1/8" x 1" flat steel.
Key point: the box should only be adjusted when the box and pitman arm are dead-centered. Also, the pitman arm should be REALLY tight, 1/16 of a turn can make the difference between good and crappy handling/feel.
Cheers.
