I sent them my column back in September I believe. At that point they told me they wouldn't get to it till the first part of January. They were dead on. Before they started work on it, they called me to make sure of what I wanted done and then I had it about a week and a half later. I didn't mind the wait and was glad they were up front an honest about everything.
Max, I might take you up on that offer. I do have a manual coupler (still need to get it off the steering box though) and will see if I can tell if it will work or not this weekend.
