Since I recently have just done this one would think I would remember the amount? Not so fast Bunkie. I do think that it was about 8" that was cut out?
I can understand that if you would be looking at a full Capri column, you would think, no way that can possibly fit in a Pantera? Way.
They cut out the maximum amount that they could with only one cut.
There are some steel sheet metal tabs that you will need to fabricate and "dimple weld on to the tube.
They were added for the Pantera and are not on the original Capri column so I guess you need to say that a Pantera column is unique?
The Capri unit does not have them...and no, I did not document this with pictures. What'a ya' think I'm smart or something? Nah.
