Ididit install help
I am installing an ididit tilt column in my '63 using the stock bracket but the ididit column doesn't have any mounting holes? They claim it installs using stock hardware? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Ididit install help
Yeah, it's a little misleading...you do use the lower bracket that the parking brake handle mounts to, but you'll need to secure the column with a couple of sheetmetal screws where the orginal two bolts were located. Then you have to use one of the interior firewall column mounts where it passes through the opening in the firewall. I used a stainless T-bolt clamp on the otherside of the firewall securing the column to the factory flange. I hope that helps a little.

Re: Ididit install help
I don't have any photos right now, and my truck is apart...I'm prepping the cab for paint. But, if you go to the Ididit site and the tech area, there are instructions for the Tri 5 installation, which is similar to the installation process that I used.

Re: Ididit install help
I installed an Ididit column into my 64 GMC recently but not before I sent it back to Ididit to have them update it to their latest version. The new version includes threaded nuts that slide in slots on the column allowing you to bolt it to the park brake bracket. No drilling required.

Re: Ididit install help
I've used IDIDIT and Flaming river columns in various projects. I personally wont use another IDIDIT.
The Flaming River column used in my 61 Apache build was a direct bolt up and fit very securely! Their shaft design is a much stronger and safer setup than the IDIDIT columns I have used in the past where they require you to cut your old steering shaft, grind it and use a set screw, I have seen those fail and come loose, that scares the crap out of me!
