Who needs a steering wheel?

Explore our journey in mounting a steering wheel on a 240Z, the challenges faced, and solutions to steering column issues.

Over the time working on the 240Z we had various problems getting the steering wheel mounted in the car properly. The steering column threads wouldn’t allow the Nut that I had to thread onto the column so mounting the wheel was an issue.

Last night I found another nut for the column and believed that I got it threaded onto the column with a lot of brute force. Well it ends up that brute force basically destroyed the threads on the column. So… I guess I’ll add a new steering column to the list of things I need for the car.
