Title: HR Steering colum Post by: dam-mad on April 20, 2004, 07:21:19 PM I recently found that my FC runs a HR steering colum, can nayone tell me if this will take a standard FC steering wheel?
Much appreciated Deano Title: Re: HR Steering colum Post by: Effie C on April 20, 2004, 07:46:06 PM Deano
I am afraid not, the blinker mech is different. Title: Re: HR Steering colum Post by: dam-mad on April 21, 2004, 12:24:57 AM Even with a HR indicactor mech ? :-/

Anyone got a photo of a HR steering wheel? How bad is it going to look on FC? Looks like a have a pearled FC wheel for sale :'( Title: Re: HR Steering colum Post by: Effie C on April 21, 2004, 09:29:49 AM If you have an FC column,you could try changing the top bearing housing and blinker mech.suggest testing shaft and spline first thou.
Old cars and mods,someone has to be first and looks like you could be it. John M Title: Re: HR Steering colum Post by: dam-mad on April 21, 2004, 11:00:32 AM Thanks for the advice John and the slight piece of hope :-/
One of my favorite parts of the FC is the steering wheel so aint gonna give up with out a try.. Thanks again Title: Re: HR Steering colum Post by: fcfromscratch on April 21, 2004, 12:46:46 PM Hi guys,
I have HR column in both my FC's...chose to do it to one because it was an easy way to have the auto selector and quadrant and gate etc....the compromise was the HR steering wheel. I can send a pic to see what you think dam-mad....the other one was like it when I bought it....with a sports steering wheel. I too like the FC steering wheel and am investigating the modification of the FC steering wheel hub to bring it far enough up not to foul the HR blinker setup, without compromising safety..... the last thing you want in an emergency is the steering wheel to come off in your hands eh? Why does your car have a HR column anyway....because of auto shifter, or it just happens to be there?? I guess one option is to change back to FC column will post pic soon.... cheers.....Brad Title: Re: HR Steering colum Post by: fcfromscratch on April 21, 2004, 01:26:18 PM here's that pic of the HR steering wheel in my FC...

Nothing against your car but it looks as bad as I thought it might. Not sure why they placed the HR colum but they ran a HR fromt end maybe they thought it was the way to go. I think it is a early conversion. Thanks again Deano |
