Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build
Good deal! I always worry about you during fire season.
The steering column is mocked up. The included front mount fit in the factory location with no mods. All I had to do was clock the Microsteer unit per the directions and snug down the bolts. I may trim some of the cowl area where the fresh air vent is located to give it some additional clearance. The folks at FR include a nice little swivel ball that covers the opening where the shaft passes thru the firewall. Before the carpet goes in, I'll pack some 3M Strip Caulk on the inside to seal out the elements. (For all the times it will get driven in the rain. )

Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build
Watching this install intently to learn about the new pwr steering option.
No beads for the firewall to help strengthen things as well as vibration resistance. *EDIT* Just re-read & noted the mention of material thickness vs the limits of your bead roller.

The Flaming River microsteer unit came with a controller that accepts a VSS input from the transmission. So, the steering effort is supposed to vary with vehicle speed. More bells and whistles than my brain can process so I'm learning too. What is that saying about flying a plane while building it?
