Steering Column Question??

[OrrieG]

I am adapting a 48 steering wheel to my Eldo column. If I remember from my research the 56 column if relatively flat, I could not use my 59 because it is dished. My biggest challenge was figuring out how to get the horn to work and the transition from the old to new trim. Look at my thread around post 614(march 18, 2012) to see how I repaired and adapted it, it is spread over a few pages. The splines should be the same. For me someone saying it "can't work" just means they have not figured it out or do not want to deal with it. Also, I have read that the bigger diameter columns make the steering a little twitchy and faster with possible over reaction if you are used to smaller diameter wheels. I would not take their absolute word for it.

I used a 1970 Chev van tilt column and did some work to the the shifter bezel (smoothed it). I had to do some customizing for going through the firewall, however the length was perfect with a 1974 Trans Am clip.
