Default tilt wheel question

1964 installed a borgeson p/s unit and now thinking about adding a tilt wheel-my question is does any vendor sell this pre cut for the p/s unit?

I don’t believe they have them precut since there would be variations on if you use a u joint or rag joint and how close do want your wheel to the dash. I had mine custom cut from IDIDIT.

What did you have custom cut? The center shaft length only or the whole column length? Are you using the double ujoint?

Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom. I told them the length I wanted and I guess they just cut the shaft. I am using a ujoint as I didn’t like the angle on the rag joint I had with the stock column.

OK. I see. I was thinking r&p not a box. Setup is different. Just an FYI. I use an IDIDIT column and an early Camaro hub. It may be the same as a 67 hub I don't know. Anyway it fits the column fine and as your pic shows it moves the steering wheel closer to the dash.

Thanks
Tom
