We finished up the column last weekend.
My dad had to turn down the column lock shutter wheel to fit inside the smaller housing ring he made. All of this to taper the housing down to fit inside the NRG hub so I could keep the telescope function.
The turn signal lever I bought online as part of a dress up kit was too narrow and sloppy. It also wasn't polished billet aluminum as advertised but rather poor quality chrome. I ended up ordering a different dress up kit from Lokar that should arrive soon.
Both of the new housing rings and the modified one worked out as planned. I have full tilt, about 3/4" telescoping and was able to keep the collapsable feature. The new top housing ring tucks inside the NRG hub so I can use the telescope without having a gap showing.
The modified tube was worth the effort. No more exposed holes for the shift tube in the engine compartment.
