4 to 6 Steering Column Conversion, Need help with the details Options

[mg911guy]

Hi all, I have been lurking here for a while now. You guys crack me up! I can always count on you to make me laugh out loud at my computer monitor. My family must think i'm nuts. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I have a 70/4 and the parts to replace my 4 Steering Column with a 6 clone. Like Clay Perrine has shown on his web site.

I have collected the following parts:
66 911 Steering Column (From Pick A Part 2 years ago!)
66 911 Turn and Wiper Switches
66 911 Steering wheel center hub. Wheel was missing when I pulled it.This is just the splined center w/turn cancel disk.

73 911 Steering Column (20th St. Auto Parts)
73 911 Turn Switch

72 914/4 Steering Column (Ebay)
72 Turn and Wiper Switches on the column

70 914/4 Steering Column (Existing)
70 914/4 Steering wheel

83? 911 Steering Column Tube is too short.(Pomona Swap)
75 911 3 and 4 spoke Steering wheels
72 911 Locking Ignition Assy. Complete

I know the 66 911 column is not right. It is a big chunk of cast metal with the housing setup totally different from the later (68?-73) style. But the turn and wiper switches will work.

I have the 73 turn switch wired and working in the 914 already. I still need to convert the wiper over. I was thinking that I could use the intermittent relay for the 3rd wiper position. My 75 911 has a seperate switch/round knob located on the dash! and I just move into the 1st wiper position and dial the knob to control the delay.

Sorry I just spaced.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

My question is where do I locate the 72 column plate on the 73 tube? I have removed the 2 original mounts from the tube and cleaned it up. Also, a few years ago I bought a fire damaged 911 Locking Ign Switch and cut the locking mech/tube back about 1 1/2" and enlarged the left side dash hole nearest to the column. And used the left key ign. My VW Ign cyl pulled out with the key one day. I was using the Stanley Key after that. (Screwdriver). I have a complete assy now.

Can I weld in the corresponding key/ign mount from a early 911/912? are they the same or similar. You know the stamped deep round sheet metal that makes the /6 dash special.

Since I have a later key/ign the bezel is much bigger and flatter than those shown in the /6 pics I have seen. Are they the same thread size?

Once I sort out all the wiring I will post the conversion wiring, If someone hasn't already?

Thanks Mark
