Question about steering hook up?

[seadog]

It's time to mock up the steering linkage on my Deuce 5 window project.  When I got the rolling chassis it came with Flaming River steering joints; three of them: a vibration damper, and two other regular single joints.  All are 3/4inch x 36 spline.  I have found that I need a 9/16 x 17 spline joint at the rack with a 36 spline on the other end.  Flaming River doesn't have this size, but Borgeson does.  Is there any reason not to mix the two brands in the same system?  Seems like it wouldn't matter but I thought I'd ask some of the more experienced folks here.  Thanks.

Go ahead and mix them, no problem.

It's in a Kugel open wheel IFS, I am told by Kugel that it is a Fiat rack.
