I fabbed a small sheet metal box when I did my car.
I made my steering column from a 1973 911 part and welded wings on it to match my 1974 Chassis then plated it. My steering column locking mechanism as well as all of the switches work as designed. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Does the steering column use the original shaft ? Are the 911 and 914 shafts splined alike ? If different, what mods are required.... |

If different, what mods are required.... 911 & 914 have the same spline. If you are using a 911 steering shaft it would be best to use a wheel from a 70 or 77, 914. No mods required. The later wheels require a small mod and the fit is ok but not perfect because of a chamfered shaft vs flat. |
