Steering column complete!

I set out this past week to order a steering column for my car and when I couldn't find what I wanted i decided to make one. I took some tips form here and set to work.

1.5" tubing, 3/4" steel rod, a plate cut for the wheel and the bearings.


Here are the bearings I used, from a local tractor supply.


plate welded to the rod, mounting tab mounted to the column and the bearings have been greased and tacked in.


Mounted up


Removed and painted


I didnt like seeing the bearing and rod when it was installed os I added a sleeve to the wheel plate


Painted and installed
