Any luck on this yet??

Just did this on my 386 tonight. Had to bust the bushing out piece by piece. Recommend two people. Just slice the clear plastic with a razor as it works as a guide to help the spring stay straight and if you slice it you can wrap it back around to help maintain even afterwards. The bottom cover on the steering column will need shaved down as they will hit at full tilt but other than that very pleased.
KB3MMX Thanks this. -
I modified my first 386 steering column to give me a way better tilt and reach my spacing it away from the dashboard. I don't use air ride so I needed to modify it to get better control of the wheel at a more comfortable angle. I cut the plastic cover to clear the column. I just bought a 386 so I'll make a tutorial of how to do this. Heres a few pics of where I cut the plastic cover. Heres a pic to show how low the column went.
