Thanks for the input and help. I definitely have the bushings installed with the end of bushing with the open groove facing the middle of the sector shaft. I also drilled a hole to line up with the grease fitting and made a small slot to allow it to communicate with the space between the bushings. As I saw it, this will allow the grease to reach both bushings. I will make sure there is o-ring squish by the washer to create a good seal without keeping the 2 bolt flange from touching the inside of the frame. Also I have a Tudor so I will need to have the steering wheel and the light rod in place before I install the steering box.
