    Default Is there a mod to change to RA40 steering colum to tilt Adustable ?

    My stupid legs hit the steering wheel. i'm pretty sure the RA40's came out with this standard but finding one is the challenge.

    If there is a mod that can be done i'll do it and take a but load of photos while i do it

    Maybe a JDM item only? Or a GT thing. You might be able to get one from japan =P

    Also worth a try is one off an RT132 corona. Same era, same engines, same steering arrangement, could be a go-er.

    After some research, according to toyodiy, most of the components are shared. I'd say it's worth looking into, although the main column has a different number.

    i have tilt adjustable in my ra28....

    did it as part of a rack and pinion conversion - think it is an ra65 column from memory - not bolt in... but doable (do a rack conversion while your at it )

    Atleast if you fixed it in a position to suit you, No one else could drive the car unless they are the same build, hehe.
