Thought I would inform SPF owners of an issue I had with my steering column. The column to dash support bracket broke on my car. If you check the pictures you'll notice the bracket has notches cut in the sheet metal to make bends. These are the stress points that broke. Fortunately I had some warning and was able to get the car to a safe location before it broke completely.
I fabricated a new bracket with no bends and brazed it to the column. I also reinforced a similar weak point at the rear of the column. I do some track days with semi slicks and the car has over 20,000 miles so that may have been a factor. You might want to check your bracket.
