My deal with aftermarket columns is the OD of the housing. When they are installed in a 1st Gen, there's a large gap between the housing and the instrument carrier.

Do both Ididit and FR have small OD housings?

You can get the FR in a 2" OD, and the Ididit in up to 2.25". I have the DSE carrier, and I don't think either size should leave much of a gap.

I guess they are both good and depends on what you like. Flaming River has nice steering wheels that they just released and they are very nice. You can see a bunch of the columns on our website on the project vehicle page. Almost all the customs up there have FR columns in them. I hope this helps you out and good luck. If you decide you want FR I am a dealer for them.

Thanks to all for the input. It sounds like both are great brands. For me, it appears that the deciding factor will be the choice between an aluminum (Ididit) or stainless (FR) housing. I do want the housing to be black. The stainless would have to be painted or powder coated. The aluminum could be anodized black. That would be pretty cool.

Thanks again.

To do anything but paint you will need to

take the column apart. You may want to see if they can do that for you before it is shipped. No sure you want to do that on your own. Some of the pieces on my Flaming River column are pressed.

Can someone post pic of model wich have ignition switch and lock ?
