Title: STEERING COLUMN OPTIONS Post by: Ken McLean on November 25, 2000, 01:00:00 PM A little while back there was some discussion re steering columns for FE/C. I have installed an EJ/H auto column onto the original FC steering box (straight forward operation). The Neutral safety switch is supplied with the EJ/H column(no problems here) I am running 186 Tri, so I took the lockout from a Torana and welded it in place of the EJ/H lockout (little bit of trial and error, but not too difficult) Also took the PRNDL from a Torana, cut the letters out, and stuck them into a HR housing which bolted straight onto the EJ/H column, the PRNDL light was also OK in the setup. Only problem is that the FE/C wheel will not fit the EJ/H column or anything later. I dont think it will even fit an FB/EK column without an ugly gap appearing. Use a sports wheel to get the short column you desire.

My first message probably didn't read as I intended, but I actually needed a EH or later column so that I CAN fit a sports steering wheel. Apparently boss kits are only available for EH's and later models. How much shorter is the EH Column than the FE Column?
