Something like this may work as long as the thru bolt is made from strong enough materials, such as they say they are now.
These are the parts.
This is the assembly on the steering arm.
This would keep the taper so the thru bolt would be seated properly and would "self adjust" to each individual steering are Morgan made, albeit they're all slightly different.
The sleeve would then be held in place with the heim joint and a top nylock nut. Tighten the bottom thru bolt first to lock it in place and then put on the sleeve and heim joint to be tightened.
This may be what one of the other guys said and I thought that's what I understood.
As I said earlier, I would not have a problem or concern with the plain grade 8 through bolt like JV has done, but for the guys that want that "extra" bit of security, this option may be better suited for them.
But again it all boils down to the strength of the thru bolt as it is NOW a manufactured part, not a store bought part.
DISCLAIMER:
I do not know the true dimensions of the Empire parts, so I just started with a .5" thru bolt on top with a .38" thread on the bottle. I also used a taper spacer of 2" long. True dimensions of the Empire parts would have to be substituted for my parts if someone when ahead to make these parts.
