ZR-1 Net Registry Forums - View Single Post - Update on my hi-miler Z project

I received the new steering column from Johnny (phrogs) today, it is in great shape. However, since it's a 1990 column, it was not an exact swap for the 1991 column. The connector for the air bag is different, requiring that the clockspring assembly and wiring be swapped out. In order to do this, the lock plate and turn signal assembly have to be removed, so it is a little bit time consuming. I also changed out the lock cylinder for my original one, since the VATS is still looking for the correct resistance.

I have the steering wheel reinstalled, but it was dark, so no pics tonight. I'll try to get some taken tomorrow.
