Is the bolt pattern where the steering column attaches to the deck different on a 39? The post on there now has been cobbled and only two of the three holes line up with the deck holes. Either the 39's had a different post or perhaps someone tried to adapt an H post at some point in time. Thoughts? [Reply]   [No Email]

Don't remember if the bolt spacing is different, remember the base looks different. [Reply]  [No Email]
