I am well on my way to getting my Bugeye back on the road after 9 years in
the garage. But an totally unexpected problem has arisen.
My wife of 5 years was very supportive of the idea of getting it running
again until she realized that the steering column doesn't collapse, nor are
there seat belts. Now I'm running into domestic trouble that I'd sooner
avoid.
I admit that I wouldn't mind having a collapsing steering column. Does
anyone have any good info on adapting a collapsible steering column from
another car?
My Bugeye was raced many years ago and has 1275 engine, disk brakes, and
home-brew wiring harness. It is obviously not even remotely original and
would not suffer from the modification.
Thanks for your advice.
