speedway VS limeworks steering column ?s

ok, i have some question and have done some searches so be kind.
1.) has any ones use the speedway quick disconnect steering colomns and are they worth it
2.) same question for the lime works column
3.) what length works well with a model a sedan

i am kind of leaning towards the speedway one because i have suicide doors and it would be easy to get in and out, as well as a security measure. the only problem with the speedway column it does not have a horn. what have you guys used besides fabing one.
thanks
tom

 

i have the speedy bill stainless column in the willys... almost 3 years now and no trouble with it at all. fit and finish is pretty nice for the price paid

 

Your AVATAR gives me the creeps

Thank You for your reconsideration on the Avatar!!!!

Nice Choice!!!!

 

Speedy copied the proven Limeworks column. Buy from Steve at Limeworks, he is a HAMBer.

 

they do deliver fast, but their parts are crap i have to admit. hahahaha yea i can see how its creepy, it looks like i need a 70s molester van

 

I have seen the Limeworks column and it is a high quality piece with good parts in it. I know Steve is a great guy with good ideas, so it may be worth your time to call him and tell him what you are looking for if you are set on having a quick release on the wheel.
The length really depends on where and how you mount the column. You need to mock up a column/wheel and seat placement and measure for the column. I used a wooden dowel and cardboard circle for a wheel when I made my column.

 

i do like the look of the limeworks columns and their drops very purdy

 

I used the Speedway column on my coupe. No complaints. It has a nice finish and the column is splined at the top for a nice fit to the wheel.

 

I would be interested to know the reasoning behind that statement Ryan. Why would you not patronize Speedway Motors?

 

I'm a dealer for both of them.
Speedway is purely counting pennies choice.

Limeworks columns are finely crafted.
I love the skinny version,1 1/2" diameter same as ol' Fords
has the right look in a hotrod.

The 1 1/2 column and their drop,painted black with a full size '40 wheel..perfect !

Something as important as wheel and column in your car,why not spend a few more bucks and get it right.Save the $100 plus elsewhere on your project or skip a couple delivered pizza's.

 

And Vern Tardell.


Speedway is the Walmart of the streetrod/race parts industry.

 

among many others. thier "buy one and duplicate it" thoery knows no bounds. and the amount of stuff they get from overseas is astounding.

 

it was pretty shady what they did to the stromberg guys, and there creepy avatar removed

 

Running Steve's column in my Deuce works great. Actually everything we bought from LIMEWORKS has been top notch....besides as stated he's a HAMB vendor....Nuff Said!

 

Now nobody will recognise you!!

 

yeah chester will pop up every now and then

 

Limeworks have done a fine job of extracting money outa me.
Good knowledge and correct parts supply works for me..
Plus Craigr in there is a Kiwi....and a HAMB'r....(I have one of their columns)
cheers bt

 

I just went with a stock 40 passenger column with keyed mounts in two of my cars. One I chromed and added the Limeworks 40 wheel. And yes the horn button works with some mods.

 

They're not that good.

Why buy Chinese rip off junk when you can have the original quality Made in USA product from the originator? See my signature for explanation.

Support your HAMB Alliance vendors.

 

What else can be said to this!

Join the alliance and deal with people you KNOW have it right.

 

I'm using a limeworks in my roadster..

excellent quality.

 

Limeworks makes quality stuff, and as already said why cut corners on something so prominent in a car. The column is a focal point.

 

well it looks like alliance member and limeworks here i come

 

Good choice, their column drop is absolutely perfect. Buy through Eric at Riley Auto if you can - he passes along the discount and uses all the parts out there, so he's got great advice.

 

yup, i didnt know eric was a vendor for them untill to day, so im going to order from him after i get a alliance membership

 

I want more pics of that sweet Tudor!

 

thanks here is a link, its photoshoped blue since im going to paint it that color. i decided after i saw cruzr's coupe.
