I have one, it's nice.....

look on youtube, they have video's of the install on there.....

It should just slide in, hook up your wires, align the turn signal mechanism, and bolt on your wheel.....

Re: ididit steering column anyone have one?

i just got mine in the mail friday. today primed and painted it. should have the mooneyes steering wheel tomorrow. i need the coupler and intermediate shaft, i didnt think of it at the time or i would have ordered them too. i wonder if napa has those? it comes with a 3 7/8 wiring plug and i just put a painless harness in. plugs dont match and i called ididit tech support, they gave me a part number. i looked it up on line and it looks like the painless plug. anybody have been throught this?

got mine in today seems there is more to it than that. I thought it was plug and play. thats not the case. There are no holes or mounting spots on it anywhere. called ididit they say use self tapping screws. just wondering how some of your installs went pics would be helpful.

Well, I used the clamp at the firewall, and use a muffler clamp turned upside down for the clamp under the dash. I called hem also, but I did not want to use sheet metal screws and drill in the column.

Should of asked the person you bought it from if it was a direct bolt in.
Ididit is making one now that is a direct bolt in that will be ready to ship
very soon.You will not have to drill any holes at all.Other than that you cannot go wrong with your choice.

Yes, I have one. It was easy to install and I love it. Some confusion though on the adapator required for steering wheel.
