Depending on the 31A he has, the steering column mount may be attached to the Dash. If it is not and is attached to the gas tank it can easily be converted to a dash mount. Then no worries about tugging on the steering column.


I do not have bad knees, but there is a technique to getting in and out. My technique is to find a way to get your feet/legs in before getting your body in, for me as mentioned in another post is to not use the running boards to get in. To get out, 1st scoot over toward the passenger side a little so you can get your feet out the narrow way and then slide over towards the drivers door. Use of running boards is up to you. All this works better if you have a vinyl seat instead of a cloth seat.
