Original steering wheel and horn to a tilt assembly ?

[Donaldo]

Hi, I'd like to use the '51 wheel and horn set up on an aftermarket tilt column. Is there a way to do this myself?

I hope some of the great fabricators on the list can share some ideas -

thanks, Don

Not real sure about a '51 but this is a '56 bolted up to an Ididit column.. no problem..

cant say for a 51, but my 52 wheel bolted right up to my ididit column

Look at my build thread, AD wheel on GM tilt telescope.

what I am trying to do is use an aftermarket 32" chrome tilt for GM unit, keyless with column shift - I can bolt on the 1951 wheel, but getting the horn contact parts to match is this problem, of many :)

I am hoping not to have to spend the $$ for an ididit or similar column.

thanks, Don

Did the same thing with a 70's GM van Column 56 steering wheel and horn ass. bolts right on

My problem is that the lower contact plate in the original column is also the upper shaft bearing, and that won't morph in what I am trying to do -
