The dreaded bowden cable
Posted: Sun Aug 16, 2009 12:34 pm
Has anyone come up with a retro to get rid of the despicable bowden cable and plastic
actuator farce. The actuators warp and break and we are going to eventually run out of
steering columns to rob. A 68 69 column is not a suitable fix they don't look original
and keyed steering column. I have had to presidental engineer mine and it is finnicky as
all get out. Only likes to work in a specific tilt position. Somebody with a good one send
it to that place the does the 3d scanning and reproduction and have it made in metal.
If somebody has retroed a standard cluster and got it to work let me know. Eventually
no one will have turn signals!!!
