Need a favor regarding Steering Column
« on: November 03, 2016, 12:09:47 AM »
Can someone do me a favor?  I need to know where the steering column crosses through the firewall.  Need some measurements from either side (engine side or cabin), it doesnt matter. LHD preferably. Thanks in advance.

I need a measurement where to drill the actual hole for the steering column in the firewall.

Yup.  FD.  Was a Rhd car but I bought the shell off someone with the intention of going lhd.  Previous owner had welded the whole firewall closed so that's why I'm trying to figure out where to drill.
