Re: Tilt Steering Column

["Steve Mick" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just took a quick look at the aftermarket steering shaft set up on the 
Mopar . I did not see a sliding  coupler on it. I think it is important to 
have that as the steering box-frame flexes in comparison to  the steering 
column mount on the dash........................MO

It's always seemed to me that modifying a MOPAR tilt column would just
be more "true to your school" than buying an independent branded one.
Everything I've read about Flaming River has been good, apparently they
take personal interest in the quality of their stuff, so no knock on
them.  I think it's on the Borgeson site that I read that welding on a
steering shaft was dangerous.  I guess that's why their instructions for
their steering shaft coupler say to drill and pin them instead.  So,
which is "better", modifying a MOPAR column or buying an "off brand"
though probably at least as safe, modifying the shaft/coupler/steering
box and also having to change the wiring connectors.  Your car, your
choices, YOUR money! Note: no "n" in Borgeson, though the hyperlink on
the website goes to the right place.
