Clearance between the FIA bar and the steering wheel should not be an issue. The rules allow for a maximum 20º bend "out" to allow for increased clearance (which we have taken advantage of) and the steering wheel will be behind that bar. I took some measurements in the '68 and if the wheel was in the stock position there should have been about 4" of clearance +/-. As it sits now the down bar should be tucked right against the dash (the dash might even have to be clearanced a bit) which should keep it comfortably safe.

Dash - referencing the different holes in the door -


FIA bar - should be right there...


Windows might have to go power... door latches may have to be tweaked...
