What about steel touching aluminum and electrolysis or galvonic corrosion? In construction we separate with shims, tape, caulking, anything to have a space between the two so they dont have a reaction between the two different metals. Just a stupid thought when I saw the bearing in the aluminum
I do about the same thing. I turn down a bar to fit inside the tube and inside the coupler your welding on. The more solid that end is the wheel hooks to. The better feel you have in the steering wheel. On my dirt cars I made them with a solid tube. Just for the better feel of the wheel.
we built our in a similar way for our car. We drilled and tapped the housing for the bearing and added a set screw with a bit of locktite to hold it all together. It has been holding for 30 years now. ;-)
They make one that just almost hose clamps to the colum that was used in old semi trucks, the yard dog/hostler that i used to run at work had that type
@@Thefabforumsyou STILL not done building that pile of steaming 💩…. Last year around this time I literally said the same thing and the same back in 22 and 21 …. Lmfao , go do some work son 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 The longest UA-cam build in history ….
You could buy one, but that's not what you're about huh! Loving you getting back in to Friday Fool and car fab content, keep it coming!

What is up Sir, it looks like you'll have to make another for the Bibster!!!

Dang, im excited for this build!! Keep up the killer work man.
NGL, the custom steering column would look sweet as on the Bibster. Awesome job Bro.
I'm literally working on designing something like this for my racing sim motion platform rebuild. Your video gave me some good ideas. Thanks!
Nicely done sir
Great job 👍👍
inspired thinks light weight column coming for my Dart.
What do you have in mind for your blinkers?

@@Thefabforums allow me to comment on the main feed , can’t wait to be comment #22 lmfao
Too cool
Did you get a lathe? Cant remember?
no, wish I had one
Is the stock column collapsible???
I know most factory columns now days are for safety but not sure these old ones are
Would have been collapsible, that was required since 1968. Been arround alot longer though
