Hi Lothar,
I spent a good amount of time looking for a better steering column
for my 71 BGT last year. I would definitely have considered a new one, but
they were "no longer available". I ended up with four different ones
before I found the actual match for my vehicle. However, the parts people
I worked with were very nice about my returning the steering columns' which
weren't right. People have adapted many different ones to fit, but, as
they are different lengths I felt better finding the one which was actually
made for my car. Make sure the bearings are good and the column is tight
if you buy a used one. They can be taken apart carefully and the bearings
repacked which will give you a much nicer feel. I would look for a good,
used parts supplier in your area.
