Re: What do you need to ground in the flaming river steering column?

I'm running a 30" tilt Flaming River, I didn't hook up the horn right either but after depinnning the cresent connector and repinning the straight everything else workes fine. Only one ground wire to deal with, so... I think FAQ has a thread on this, may want to check. -steve

Re: What do you need to ground in the flaming river steering column?

the column is metal, held to a metal dash with a metal strap.... I can't see why it needs grounded, the stock one never had a ground wire on it either.
