Re: Old wheel to newer column

I put the column sorta in place to see if I needed to move the brake pedal over, and I also fitted the little cover plate on firewall under column.

Hard to see but there is enough room to fit my hand between column and valve cover. There's also some room to play with to install linkage. The 68 column is pretty plain looking, wires are covered nicely, so it's like the factory column. No need to make a cover. I used a strap to hold it up...couldn't find the bolts and was in a hurry... but you might be able to see the 50s steering column hold down clamp piece. Same OD as 50 column. When I find some bolts and figure out the height of the wheel, I'll post better pics.
