Because of my problems with the turn signal switch in my Corvette, I'm contemplating purchasing a Flaming River or Ididit steering column...
According to the Ididit site some modifications are required to your existing steering column to accomodate the Ididit unit....

I could not find any similar info at the Flaming River site, so I sent them an e-mail asking....
This is the reply I got back....
Has any regulars installed a FR column with the stock 53-62 front suspension?
Cheers
Ken

Due to lack of space in front of the dash this column is only available in a straight version. The original under-dash mount will be used and you will be required to fabricate your own floor mount. There is a solid shaft that extends from inside the gearbox to the steering wheel. This shaft will need to be cut and modified to fit a coupler. Your original wheel or an aftermarket wheel can be used. Although, a new adapter will be required.

Dear Ken,
The column is a direct bolt in column with the exception of the
wiring,however, we also offer the female side of the column's wiring
plug,that will allow you to transfer the stock wiring over to this
adapter, and then plug into the column.
