Steering Column Cover-protection

[scrubs]

How are y'all covering the steering column behind the dash to protect the wiring?

thx,

Nothing needed if you route the wires around with sufficient clearance and have them tied down.

I agree with Edward, but you do have to take a little extra precaution around the column because of the amount of wiring in that area. A few extra zip ties and maybe a fabricated bracket to hold the wiring away from the column.

Maybe one could slide a motorcycle shock boot over the column leg?

Try some of the split wiring loom. It comes in various sizes. Just pick color and size you need.
I put some over the F5R power steering lines to cover the tubing after bending left it unattractive.

The wire should NOT touch the steering shaft.

GGunter,

I was thinking the same thing: a simple bracket to restrain any "sagging" looms :)

I used some metal strap that I had laying around, bent it around the steering shaft and screwed it into the 2" frame.

I used a 2” emt two hole strap , keeps the wires clear of the steering shaft .

Thanks for all the responses.

I actually used a piece of pvc tubing to sleeve the shaft just on the off chance something came loose and dropped down. Made a bracket and attached it with a hose clamp.

Wound up using a similar solution with pipe insulation.
