Bud,
I got my replacement rubber from Ted Schumacher and I just checked
it.....same as yours. Two countersunk holes on both sides. My original only
had the countersunk holes on 1 side. I've been told that the best way to put
it back on is to get 2 bolts in and then use a big old hose clamp to squeeze
it to get the other two holes to line up. My engine and tranny go back in
this week, so I'll get to the rubber coupling after that. Did you replace
your bushings too?

Subject: [TR] Rubber steering coupling
Hi Everyone,
Im trying to fit a new rubber coupling to the steering shaft of
my TR6. There are two problems. One is that the replacement from TRF is
counter sunk for cap bolts on both sides of the coupling instead of one as
original, and the second is that the holes line up as about < inch too far
apart. Has any one else had this difficulty, and does any one know a source
for this part that is made accurately?
I knew things were going too smoothly
