quote:Agreed. This looks like a very elegant solution Scott. Thank you for making the effort to develop it. I view it as a great addition to the driveability at low speeds. Can you confirm if this will be a bolt-on, reversible kit, or if cutting of the car or the original column/trim is needed? If so, can you outline what mods are required?
Our Facebook Post and the SACC Restorations Product and Photo pages have much more detail regarding the installation. This is indeed a bolt on upgrade and is easily reversible. Unlike the other offering from other vendors, our unit only requires some slight clearance trimming. No bolt bosses are removed allowing you to bolt the stock unit back in at anytime.
The original column is not used and can be put on your shelf for the future.
Installation Summary:
> remove steering wheel and hub for re-use
