Apparently, I'm the only one who didn't know that when you're converting to a 911 steering/ignition switch set up, it's important that you weld on the 914 column mount in the same orientation as it is on the 914!
The mounting holes are offset, and if you weld it on backwards, your cool new set up won't fit on your car - at least not with the steering shafts connected! Ask me how I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Hope this is a help to someone. Attached thumbnail(s)
