Good idea. I forked over big bucks for one of the aluminum ball socket swivel type. Considering the fact that I had a column, shortened it myself, etc... I ended up spending over five bills on my column parts, between the drop, knobs n levers, mount, u joints, steering wheel adapter, then there was the steering wheel. It it a very important piece of my puzzle... had to be exactly as it turned out to workout. It tilts, telescopes, houses most controls, etc.... a big boy body would have simplified life tremendously. Live and learn!I made my own from a wide band muffler clamp with 2 L brackets welded on each side after I had my angle figured out. Screwed to firewall with 3/4" long wood screws. I have a piece of 3/4" plywood bondoed and fiber glassed to the inside of the body firewall.
The one in picture looks like a TP piece. I know they also had the ones that went into the floor.
Picture please!Yo Spanky , I now have the steering wheel coupler mounted on the inside of the firewall.
I angle grind the 2 pieces that are going to be butted together ( creating a V ) & use a 220 welder to fuse the 2 pieces together. I've modified brake pedals , gas pedals , emergency brake handles and shifting levers in the past. Regardless of my past experiences , I still have a lot to learn. I come from a humble background ; my father was from Arkansas , my mother was from Oklahoma & I was born in Porum Oklahoma. On my fathers side are auto mechanics & my mothers side are Baptist ministers. I have a twin brother named Ronny. There were 8 children in my family ( ate lots of beans n taters ) . YUM ! YUM ! Still lov'em.
