Re: Shorten aSteering Column

Stock, Astro or??? If you look in the Board FAQ thread there is one on shortening a stock column and another on Astro and early van column modifications.

Re: Shorten aSteering Column

Took about 60 seconds to find the "interior" section and a few more to find these three links. Guess I have more time than you do...

Re: Shorten aSteering Column

Do a site search for "faq thread" it will show up as first listing. click on the listing and scroll down about 5 posts to "interior threads". I copied them in the order I found them in that thread. When I clicked on them from the faq thread the photos showed up. From my post below I got red X too.

Yeah, sorry guys, the pictures do seem to be dead. I did a site search as Orrie said and the pics still don't come up.

Re: Shorten aSteering Column

I just looked and the photos have turned to red x's. Usually that means the place where the OP had them parked has deleted them. PM me with your email address and I will send you the ones I copied when I was researching mounting my column.
