Message	The electric column from the Saturn Vue/GM is super cheap and easily interfaced with a controller. A lot old muscle car guys are retro fitting them. I have an eBay z rack I sent out to get converted to mechanical. Then I plan on fabbing up the electric column and sending a speed signal to the column computer. Less weight, less parasitic crank draw, less hassle.
