I took one out of mine. No clue what the parts came from, pretty sure the column and steering wheel are original parts, the steering box is a mystery, and the shaft, brackets, etc were custom. It was set up with a drag link. I would part ways with the steering box, steering wheel, column, and whatever else I have left for a reasonable price. You would have to fabricate brackets, etc to match whatever frame you end up using. From my experience, there really is not a kit or prescribed single method to building any part of these cars... there are numerous combinations. There are car kits, if you buy everything from one vendor, but everyone does things different, so it’s not as simple as it seems on the surface. I hated the vertical column for several reasons, one was drivability... there wasn’t much room to drive it between the three pedals, floor shift, etc, (4 speed manual), I didn’t like sitting straight up or as high, then it was right in the way of adding a door. Each has their opinions and taste, I chose to use a telescoping, tilt column mounted at an angle. Also, mine is a GM column that is built to collapse upon impact and I retained that feature when I shortened it. Personally, I think the column injuring you is less of a concern, but very real. If you crash with enough force to worry about it, there are other major safety worries... again, my opinion. RPM or the other vendors would be able to help you with steering brackets, boxes, etc for sure, but Ron is known to help with one off stuff. As for the suggestion of looking at the various build threads, I think it is a good one. Not meant as an insult, at least not from my perspective, there are just so many possible variations, it is a good point of reference to figure out what your tastes is. I personally like to go look at other builds in person to get a better feel for things.
