ididit Right Hand Drive & Collapsible Steering Column: RHD Tri-Five Chevy User Manual

Thank you for purchasing the Tri-Five Chevy column from ididit.
This is a simple overview of how to mount your column. Any steering
column must be secured at the dash and firewall. This column will use
all the original mounting brackets at the dash. If you are missing parts,
some are available from Ecklers, or Danchuck. Both have web sites to
visit if necessary.
In these instructions we assume either the original gear box or an
aftermarket box are mounted in the original position. Since the gear box
is so close to the firewall, only a coupler (manual) or rag joint (power)
are necessary. If you have done a frame off restoration, the distance
may have changed between the body and the frame. Remember, the
steering column is one of the few parts that relate to both body and
chassis. If the body is placed slightly back from the original position,
you may need to add an inch to the column. We will be happy to
exchange this column (in original condition). We cannot be responsible
for body placement.
If you have added a rack and pinion front end, the installation will
require 2 joints and a shaft to reach the rack. This would be more of
a “hot rod” installation than a restoration. Both are great additions to
updating your steering.
It is highly recommended that you fit your column before painting
it. Test fitting now will save you a headache later on. We are not
responsible for paint.
