Ford Bronco Steering Box Clamp Brace Blueprint - Dimensions & Fab Drawing
Dimensioned engineering drawing of front and rear steering-box clamp sections with inner radius and hole specifications.
This document is a CAD screenshot (AutoCAD-style, showing Model/Layout1 tabs) of a fabrication blueprint for a two-piece steering box clamp, uploaded as "BRACE-1.jpg" for a 1986 Ford Bronco. It shows three orthographic views of the clamp assembly: a front elevation, a side elevation, and a top (plan) view. The clamp consists of a "rear section" — a saddle-shaped piece with an arch having a 1-1/4" inner radius, a 2-1/4" span between the legs, arch heights of 1-1/8" and 1-1/4", and a 1" width — and a "front section," a flat bar 6-1/4" long and 3/8" thick. Both pieces are drilled with 1/2" holes (two visible per piece in the top view) so they can be bolted together around the object being clamped (e.g., a steering box or shaft). A reader/fabricator can use these dimensions to cut and drill the two pieces from flat and formed stock and replicate the clamp. The drawing contains no part numbers, material specifications, dates, or explicit vehicle applicability information; the 1986 Ford Bronco attribution comes only from the uploader's gallery, not from the document itself.
