so I havent had much time to work on the car, but i have decided i want to use the sn-95 steering column.
a few reasons are
tilt
"cobra" air bag
cruise control
no re wire of hazzards, turn signal, ignition, and I can use the pats key system
hope I am not crazy for doing all this
I had a extra 86 steering column to cut down and work with,

86 columnn vs. the 03 column (my 93 column has a crush section in the column that will crush easy in a collision.

I cut the 86 column thinking that it would require welding of the steering shaft

disection of the shaft I found ford has the same center shaft in the 86 as they do in the 03!
pulling apart the 03 column you can see the same style shaft

the 86 slides right on the 03 and will allow the shaft to retract in the event of a crash!

this is the basic idea i am going with I still have to shorten it a bit and weld on a flange so the 86 section will bolt up to the 03 upper.

Looking good, long build process. May have to post a video of it running or on a dyno.

Any pics of how you mounted the column?

It all went in kinda easy the lower (fox) tube bolted in like factory and the upper I built some brackets and they bolted to the fox factory location. I don't have any pics but I will get some.
