Steering column woes

[351-EM]

Hi,

I am hoping that there is someone out there who can offer some assistance with my steering column difficulties. I have an Everett-Morrison which originally utilized a chevy column. I have since removed it and intend on putting the same type as the superformance and original Cobras had in them. I have the correct hub, wheel and turn signals but do not know what make or model the steering column is from. I have read articles in the past saying that they were the same as MG /MGB gt units but I do not know if this is accurate. If so what years? If not does anyone out there know what I need to get? I would greatly appreciate any help as I have pulled out the last of my hairs trying to figure this one out.

Thanks

Chris

Maybe some of the SPF people here can help you. I noticed on my SPF the rack is stamped with the VW/ Audi trademark circles and so was the steering wheel hub bearing. I also heard the turn signal arm/switch is VW.

ERA uses either a locally manufactured column or, in their manual, recommend a 1972-1977 column from a Triumph Spitfire or GT as an alternative.
Not necessarily workable for the EM but might be worth a look.

I think Chuck is right. I heard the same thing from a guy in Pa. with ERA and I thought it was Flaming River he had in his car and he also said it was very reasonable. Follow up on that lead.

The columns were the same as 1963 MGB without any locking device attached to the steering shaft. Very easy to replicate using approx 1 1/8" tubing and make some delrin bushings and get a splined shaft from one of the suppliers such as Borgleson.

This is very easily done.
