Probably the same company who made the locking fuel caps.

The later HK-T-G steering boxes were separate to the steering column and utilised a collapsible column. There were no FC Automatics. I would suggest that based on the information that you have supplied that the auto column is for an EK. I do not have a parts manual to check it with, so this may be incorrect. I would suggest that steering box that you have with 2 bolts is a HD-HR type box, and that, at a guess, would have the part number 88-7423138-p Regards Keith Title: Re: ek steering columns Post by: fink fc on April 10, 2011, 12:28:48 PM YOU ARE CORRECT .AUTO'S WERE NOT IN FC'S.MY FC HAS EKAUTO CLM 3 BOLTS.I CHECKED MY EH HAS 2 BOLT HOLES.CONFUSING .IF EEFCEE IS RIGHT I MUST HAVE A HR CLM WITH EH HONEY/POT AND GEAR /LEVERS.OK.
