Ok, Ive seen just about everything from the guys and girls of these forums on all sorts of crazy mods. I would like to know if anyone has tried modifying there tilt steering to give it a little more travel (xb). If so I would love to hear about it. If not im going to be the first to try and if I fail Ill tell you all how many things I broke trying so at least ill provide some laughs.

 

sounds like your gonna be the first

 

bumping this up from the dead.. I REALLY hate that I cannot get enough tilt out of the wheel.

Has anyone ever modified the OE system to give more tilt?

 

You can install 2 spacers where the 2 bolts hold the steering column to the dash frame. Nothing too wild- may be .25 to .5 in max. You will most likely have to cut a little bit of the plastic cover (right below the steering column)

 

^^^ Thank you! that's a wonderful idea!!

 

i would love to bring mine down more

 

I want mine to telescope out so I can angle my seat back more

 

just remember that modifing the steering colum can be a safety issue

 

Exactly!

 

How so? You mean the airbag deploying into your chest? That's why I have a Momo steering wheel. :D

 

I finally lowered mine. Took a pair of .3 in thick spacers to get 1 inch drop. Feels great!

 

Great mod idea, we used to lower the column in our Datsun 510's that way back in the day....

 

got pics? before and after, where the spacers go, etc.

sounds cool, thanx.

 

where's the pics???

 

still very interested too
