Steering column floor plate

Does anyone have a picture of the cover that goes on the floor? I lost mine and I need to get one made up....Where does the steering column go on the plate, dead center? upper or lower center? I guess if I make my own, I can put it wherever to meet my needs so it clears my headers?

Joners,

If you can wait a few days, I could dig mine out (for a 54), trace it, scan it and mail it to you.

Let me know.

Hi,

I mounted my steering column first then made plate to fit opening it ended up being a lot higher up the toe board then the original opening. You can see picture in my gallery

You need to have the seat installed also so that you can get a comfortable angle on the column.

The Plate is made up of three pieces to fit around steering column. You can actually pull the steering box up thru the hole. Would be easier to get one from a wrecking yard then try and fabricate the whole thing. Take a 5/16" nut-driver with you, as there are many self-tapping screws.

I am using an Ididit Column. I can trace it from the floorboard's it self and relocate to where ever I need it.

merc546, I will probably fab something up just like yours is.

I got it through Midfifty....

Not sure how long but it was just the plain steel one.

It has tilt with no shifter arm.
