I previously installed an Ididit tilt column in my Malibu .. I like the tilt feature a lot and thought of putting one in the Corvair ,, BUT ,, the tilt mechanism and turn signals make the large diameter portion of the column fairly long ,, I wanted to keep my steering wheel near the dash , I am not a NASCAR driver and don't like it up next to my chest ,, so I used a stainless column from Speedway motors ,, ball bearing , polished stainless column , no need for adapter for a common 3 bolt wheel ,, 28 inch length ,, easy install , used a collapsible column mount at floor ( basically an o-ring sandwiched between 2 flanges , friction grip to column) and it puts my wheel about 2 inches from dash ,,no turn signals ,, installed a separate switch on my shifter for that ,, next is flat bottom wheel as Rick suggested in another thread..
