Flaming River Column Installation
Note: Floor is not included in this kit. Existing floor will need to be modified or a new floor mount will
need to be fabricated.
1) Install the column spacer with the larger diameter side towards the top of the column with the split
facing to the bottom.
2) Install the new column into the mounting location using the original column mounting brackets
removed earlier.
3) To ensure that the column is straight, place the turn signal arm points to the 9 o’clock position.
4) Place the column under the dash and snug the two mounting screws for the under dash mount.
