Bob,
I bought my replacement from TRF and was able to use it on my car.? I am not
sure of what you are referring to regarding both sides vs. one side being
countersunk.? If mine came from TRF wrong I didnt notice.?
As for the second problem, congrats, you have discovered one of the real PITA
repairs on the TR6.? The first two bolts go in just fine and then the fun
begins.? What I found worked was to buy a large hose clamp, put it around the
outside of the coupling and tighten it until it holds the coupling the
appropriate distance apart so that the last two bolts can be fitted.

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
