tilt wheel

Any tilt collum will work. Just make sure you get
the collumn coupler shaft that connects to the
steering gear box. The tilts I have found are on power
steering cars. If you don't have power steering (I don't)
you have to make a coupler from the upper part from a
tilt collumn and the lower from the standard steering
shaft. Heat up the shaft using a propane torch to melt
the nylon that holds the shaft together where the
shafts slip together for the collapsing feature. Then
put the two parts you want back together. I drilled
two new holes to line up with the inner shaft and
cemented it back together using my wife's glue gun
(basically replacing the nylon. Don't weld the collum back
together as you will be defeating the collapsing feature!
Hope this helps.
