    Hi Mike. You can get IDIDIT from a number of hot rod suppliers. R&B Obsolete comes to mind. Pick up a copy of Street Rodder magazine. They advertise in there, give them a call and ask for a local distributor. OR, look up local hot rod parts shop in your area and call them.

    But, on another topic... I'll throw my two cents in. If you are building a high-end street cruiser the IDIDIt is a fine choice. If you are building a "driver" look to 70's GM tilt columns. Reason ? MONEY ! The IDIDIT is a great show column but is expensive. Look in swap meets or local bone yards for tilt columns. I picked up a fully rebuilt column at a swap meet a few years ago for $150. It was out of a van and did not have the ignition on the column that allowed me to leave the iginition in the dash. ( just my preference ). If you so choose, relocate the key to the column, it's up to you.

    Anyway, my way of thinking is the dollars you save on stuff like this can go to a lot of other things that will enhance the end result of your efforts. OK, I'm off my soap box now.
