Tried a straight (non-tilt) column in CR at first with same results. Not enough room between seat and wheel for my legs. Tilt column was manditory. Used Ididit 37" (for CR. SV may be different length) unpainted steel tilt column, and 14" Lecarra steering wheel. Also used Borgeson joints and collapsable column. Painted the top portion rattle can wrinkle black, and it matched the Lecarra hub perfectly. Painted the rest of the column epoxy black for durability. Added an ordinary 2" muffler clamp at the firewall to secure lower portion of column. Looks great, and works perfectly.

Horn, turn, flashers, and dimmer are built into column, but you have to put ignition switch on dash.

For a CR, DV has custom column with all these features already built in.
