Column Drop Help

Can anyone tell me of a column drop or an idea for a column drop that will accept an approximate two inch column tube? I would like to use a column drop similar to the original one that came in my 39 Ford.

Does anyone know of an adapter that will allow me to mount my keyed banjo wheel to a splined Chevy steering column?

Thanks, DMC

 

seen folks use old connecting rods for drops

 

You may have to use a piece of angle to bolt it under the dash, but these can be any size you want.


1/2" aluminum plate.
Make it larger and you can bolt in a couple of instruments and/or light switches etc.

Moon Equip. used to make several varieties of this style.
Some with instruments, some without.



These are some of the pieces for the home-made steering column.
The lower right piece with five holes is what locks the flat plate to the column.


Here's all the pieces for the steering column fwiw.


Complete column.



Aluminum con-rod.




2" bore with stepped reducer bushing.



Another view.



I know you said 39, but a bracket with a few equally spaced holes makes it nice to move the column left or right if necessary.



The column in use here is 1 5/8" OD fwiw.


Rare double wrist pin con-rod....

 

i know that there are a lot of stuff offered out there..and i can't keep up with them all, so i tend to make my own column drops so i get exactly what i want

 

Here's one that I fabricated that's adjustable three ways. The "bent" 1" square tubing is an alternative to a bar spanning the width of the cowl. This is a '33 Ford truck cab, which has a double layered pocket at the top of the cowl where the tubing can be attached very solidly. You can see where I attached it with some allen bolts, which I inset so that when I installed the dash there would be no interference (with the bolt heads). It did make some additional bracketry where the tubes attach to the firewall after the pic was taken. The actual column drop was a thick generic piece of steel that I got on Ebay, very cheap. As I recall, the guy had them with different size column holes. This column drop support seconds as a brace for the pedal set-up. Don't look at the "other" hole at the bottom of the firewall (ha-ha).
