Put I need the "steering bushings" also and they are really expensive compared to other companies similar products. Does anyone know what other bushings will fit in the Xray 6 degree blocks?

I have the newest USA edition kit and was wondering how many of the coned washers I need to use in the diff and the orientation of them. Thanks.
I've done the 6 deg blocks 2 ways. The easiest (not cheapest) way is to simply use xray steering blocks as well as the 6 deg castor blocks. With the TOP steering block a fellow driver showed me a trick to glue a spacer to the top of the steering block. Works like a charm. There might be a touch of friction this way but I never noticed a problem.
