I feel you on stripping the steering shaft bolts did the same thang on mine i found out that on both shafts there is a cut out for the bolts to go without touching the splines and striping them.great video series tho you have ben a great help with my cb7 manual swap.
I have a 92 cb7 and I just tried to replace the part with one from a 01 Accord they are identical but the new one didn't fit idk why but I ended up stripping the dam screws so I'm off to the junk yard tomorrow
