    What do you have against the one from Speedway ? It's a wedge, not all that intricate.

    Speedways wedge ,If centered on steering shaft no holes align up, when not centered only hole align up and plate not big enough to drill new holes.

    Stupid question....if you have a flat plate (the frame) to bolt the box thru, and you use a wedge to space one side of the box away from that flat plate, won't the outside of the flat plate also need an opposite wedge plate to allow proper bolt clamp-up?
    The wedge between the frame and the box will throw bolt alignment off on the outside of the frame...yet I don't see this addressed. Does it not matter?

    The wedge not being the same size, the rear bolt holes would be pass the wedge with no support and could crack or break

    the wedge is used to put a 56 F100 box on a 32 frame. the mounting holes are different. weld up the old ones and drill 3 new ones.
