Looking for information on what type of unit can be fitted onto an FC column.

Let me know what you find if you will Jim .I was interested in this years ago 'cause someone from a club I was in was doing them ,but I lost interest when I found the difficulty was the collapsibility . I have an old Mazda 626 [imported diesel ] with a power steering rack and V-belt pump that I have kept because I think I can make the rack fit without cutting it . Just saying this sort of thing might be an option also .

Not sure which column he used though

Thanks Gary, I remember him talking about it, but didn’t have his forum name. I’ll send him a pm.

There is a good write up on this conversion on the Torana Forum, but you will need to be a member to see the photos.
Although on a Torana column, the details would be applicable to most Holden columns.

I'm pretty sure Geoff's set-up is from a Barina.

As I lay rubber down the street I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide please dear god protect my ride
