Re: Scott's '51 Build

Much Better!!
For the column mount what we normally do is take a piece of exhaust tubing that slides over the column and weld a flat washer to the end and drill the hole out to fit the steering shaft of the column. Then you set the depth of the column as needed and weld the tube to your floor. (this will act as a stop) so what you end up with is a tube protruding from the fire wall and your column slides into this tube. To lock it into place you drill a hole and weld a nut to the very top of the tube (inside vehicle) and put a 1/4 20 bolt in the nut to lock it down.

The pic here shows what it would look like installed (hope I explained it good enough) This way you have a really clean look to the firewall and a solid mount.

Mark.
