Default Anybody have an XJS steering rack accessible for measurements?

I need the outside diameter and number of splines on the pinion input shaft.

Thanks,
Doug

Mine was 0.745", probably a nominal 3/4" shaft and it looks like 46 splines. It was hard to count, they are very fine splines, so don't take that number as being 100% accurate.

The spline count is the same both ends of the lower steering shaft, so you can count the upper UJ.
