105/115 Steering Box Questions/Survey

[Robert_A_Brady@rohmhaas.com (Robert A Brady)]

A couple of months ago, I fabricated and installed a steering box brace for 
my '74 gtv, to get rid of the annoying flex in the body where the box 
mounted.

I want to write up the story, but want to have my research completed first.

Looking through my parts book (CD-ROM), there are two Burman boxes shown.  
One has the steering shaft/column bolted to the box, the other (like mine) 
has the steering shaft connected to the box via a u-joint.  Both part 
numbers are 105 series numbers.  

Can owners of 105/115 alfas let me know the year, model, and steering 
column/box configuration so I can have some empirical data?

Can owners of parts catalogs check them out to see what cars/years got the 
solid steering versus the u-jointed steering?

Thanks for your help.
