Steering Column

I am planning on putting power steering in my 48 F1 in the near future and was wondering what column and steering wheel you are using. I am thinking about using a Grant wheel and an ididit tjlt column.

Thanks
Terry

I got a better price on my Ididit column from Mid Fifty than when I called Ididit directly. If using a Grant wheel, get the Grant adapter from Ididit as well saves using two adapters, looks much better.
YMMV

I used a 30" Flaming River with a column shift and a Grant. No complaints.

DGMFORD, Wow 35" sounds really long.

I have a 28" Flaming river and Grant wheel and am very happy with both.

length depends on steering box you use. 30" is about right for Toyota conversion, 35" for Volare or MII R&P.
