Flaming River Steering column with Hedman Headers

I am hoping someone out there can help me with a problem I have run into with my Flaming River Steering Column, Hedman Header, and Flaming River Rack.  My driver side Hedman Header is in the way of my Flaming River Rack and Pinion connection and the column by the same company.  I am using a three piece universal joint and the angle of the shafts are more than what is needed for a smooth turning column.  The front pipe of the header comes over the middle two and over the rack and pinion connection. Any one has done the same set up and came up with a way of fitting everything together?
 
Appreciate any help before I start cutting the header and rewelding.
