Steering In The Right Direction
In old days, putting your steering gear could be hit and miss.
A matter of grabbing what was available and trying to make it work together
in a way that would keep you from getting wrapped around a tree. Today,
steering solutions exist for any problem you can think of.
The first step insteering this roadster in the right direction
is a Flaming River stainless steel tilt-column.
Another great solution is this Wizard Fabrication offset steering
gear which reduces the number of u-joints needed to get around tough problems.
Paddle shifters are all the rage these days. They make it
easy to shift gears without taking your hands off the wheel, which you may
not want to do during high-speed cornering (or dodging shopping carts at
Wal Mart).
MasterShift
offers and aftermarket paddle-shift kit that you can install on your hot
rod. It looks like it was made for Speed Warehouse steering wheel.
The control unit for the MasterShift paddle shifter is located
under the floor next to the framerail, but can be mounted most anywhere.
