Does anybody have advice on fitting a collapsible steering column to a '66 Valiant? I have searched the internet and come up empty, and worry about the spear pointing at my chest!Thanks

Hmmm... i guess this is the approach that i'd take: Retro fit a "newer" column... but that could be quite a PITA You could have a look see at the rod & custom end of it... i figure if you're gonna hafta boogie something in there, it might as well be slick. http://www.flaming-river.com/ Or take my approach: go race car! http://www.stockcarproducts.com/steer5.htm look about 1/2 way down the page. granted you'll need a u-joint connector for the steering box (not a big deal, they're only 70bux AND you get to eliminate that nasty grease box!) and you'll hafta adapt a steering wheel and turnsignal controls... but... it is safe... and it'll last...
