the plan is to use aflaming river tilt column and attach it to a manual gear with a short pinion shaft,example would be flaming rivers mustang gear with the 1" sector shaft.

This sounds interesting.Can you give a little more info.Are you using the complete column or just the box?Mark

  

A box out of a 59 Ford will bolt in.
