ididit Right Hand Drive & Collapsible Steering Column: RHD 1968-69 Mustang User Manual
Page 4
The first few tasks, you can do easier with the column on a work bench
before you put it in the car!
Wiring:
Included in the kit are male and female white plastic connectors and male
& female terminals. The wiring from the switch can be made to fit either
this connector OR the original connector. The pins are the same size as the
original.
Using Original Connector:
(Easiest!)
Remove the pins from the original
wiring block on the original steering
column and insert the wires on your
new steering column into their proper
location on the original block. The
color codes should match up. You
will more than likely have to use a
tool to remove the pins from the plastic connectors. Above are the two types
of tools commonly used.
Go back into the cabin of the car and re-
move the bolts that hold the column to
the dash mount. The ‘68 and the ‘69 dash
mounts are very different. (Figure 5)
Remove the column and take it to a work
bench and remove the two nuts that secure
the column to the underdash mount. Now
comes a couple of things that will make
every Ford enthusiast happy. This new
steering column from ididit has
a Ford top shaft, a Ford turn sig-
nal switch and 8 tilt positions!
It is not an exact copy of your
original column though. It is
much heavier duty but will still
fit in your car perfectly. ididit
has taken a long time to engi-
neer it to bolt exactly in your
Mustang.
