  • On this episode I build a custom lightweight steering column for a fox body mustang. This steering column ended up being 10 pounds lighter than a factory steering column.

    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. ;-)

    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!

    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.

    I'm literally working on designing something like this for my racing sim motion platform rebuild. Your video gave me some good ideas. Thanks!

    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
