Title: Steering column replacement Post by: njf690 on August 23, 2021, 11:37:28 AM Have a issue with selector on the steering column . Has dropped internally somewhere. Had it modified by rods racks years ago . Is there a swap out on the market someone has used that has the auto on the column to link with commodore transmission. And be able to run fc steering wheel . Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.

George at Alien retro columns said he could build one, would need both an EK and HK auto column up front (if you could find them). No other manufacturers do column auto for your setup. I gave up and am custom making one using a Prius column and Tarago column shift with BA ford cable. You could also use a VS column from a ute if you can find one.

Don’t see why it wouldn’t work. You basically use the neutral safety switch and shift gate from donor car and customise the control rod. You can even fit a Powerglide gear indicator lens in the ek housing which gives you the correct ….DNRP sequence, admittedly LDNRP rather than 12DNRP or 123DNRP, but better than the Hydramatic RLSDNP.

Back in the car all driving again
