BlaineFab steering column package - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Introducing the Blaine Fab race steering column upgrade for the 4th gen Fbody - toss your old worn out OEM column, with its sloppy tilt mechanism.

Lightweight, compact safety column with telescoping section that meets NASA requirements for aftermarket columns. Approx 12# lighter than OEM column.

Package includes:

- Momo Model 78 suede covered 3 spoke wheel - choice of 330mm or 350mm dia. (other models also available)

- Woodward safety steering column with telescoping section, allows precise positioning to suit drivers position and preference. A variety of nominal lengths are available for stock to rear set seating position, and anywhere in between.

- Woodward splined quick disconnect, precision machined for essentially zero play

- Blaine Fab aluminum 3hole to 6hole adapter, installed with high quality hardware

- Blaine Fab aluminum firewall plate with Woodward adjustable lower mount - uses OEM fasteners, minor trimming of firewall opening required.

- Blaine Fab adapter to connect the Woodward splined lower shaft to the OEM intermediate shaft. Machined/TIG welded/stress relieved/plated for perfect fit and durability.

- Choice of dash bar upper mount (not pictured - welding required) or bolt on upper mount - uses OEM 3pt mounting hardpoints.

You can claim that a loose tilt column is a safety hazard (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
