Flip-Flop Steering Wheels for Street Rods

Street-rods are great. Yet the average street rodder’s version of daily transportation is not as immutable as some of the hard-core traditionalists in the rodder community would have you believe. Sure it has to have original “tin”, or a reasonable fiberglass facsimile, healthy “V-type” power, and nobody has yet put smaller tires on the rear end. Yet the average street rodder cannot help but be influenced by the styling and engineering trends that have emerged from Detroit and even Tokyo over the years. That is even if they will not admit it asily.

Energy Absorbing Safety Columns Are a Wise Upgrade for Street-Rods:

This is not all surprising either. The automobile industry – especially the American “Big Three” GM, Ford & Chrysler still have a lot of good ideas that can be incorporated into street rods. Some rodders will even work with “imports”. As an example of a good idea that can be used to upgrade the rods , consider handsome energy/ absorbing/ tilt steering wheel column found in most American made passenger cars from the late Sixties onwards. Indeed there are more than several types and varieties which include both energy absorbing features, and the tilt and some which just tilt. The choice of course is up to the hobbyist and automobile owner. Yet why not move with the times and get all the inherent benefits.

Energy Absorbing Collapsible Steering Columns Absorb Driver’s Forward Inertia Protecting Them:

Otomobiller için enerji emici sütunların arkasındaki düşünce ve planlamanın özü, mekanik etkisi altında sıkıştırmak için bir süre önce oto mühendisleri böylece onları inşa gibi hemen bir oto kaza ya da çarpışma sonucu ne saniyeler içinde oluşur. Bir araç, hem de araba ileri hareket ve hareket olduğunda tahrik olmak, kamyon ,spor kullanılabilirlik SUV veya kamyonet gibi yolcu birleştirmek ve bir tür enerji veya güç teşkil kadar birlikte sürücü. If that automobile is involved in a severe frontal collision, then the primary source (that is the forward movement of said vehicle) us immediately stopped and halted in its tracks. Yet the secondary force (the forward movement of the auto) continues. True one can say that for many years no cars and other vehicles are all equipped with airbags for safety. However in the case of street-rods, their base chassis and underpinning far predate the introduction of this very useful and effective automotive safety appliance.

Seat Belts Will Not Protect Driver’s In a Collision If the Street Rod Has an Older Original Equipment Rigid Type Steering Column Ob-board:

If the driver is thrust forward onto an older pre-safety era original type steering wheel and column, there is no doubt a significant possibility of injury. This is the case even if lap type seat belts are in use and place. Shoulder harness type seat belts true are designed to prevent this. Ancak pek çok titiz sokak çubukların sadece zihinlerinde ya da kişisel tercihleri ​​bugüne kadar hangi sebeplerle sahip oldukları için onlara yüklemek için kendilerini alamazlar.

Direksiyon Emici Katlanabilir Enerji Sürücü Kaza Direksiyon Karşı Atılan itibaren Yaralanmaları azaltacaktır:

Ancak bir araba ile donatılmış ise, bir enerji emici direksiyon kolonu, aynı ya da benzer bir çarpışma yer almaktadır, the column’s job is to compress and its inherent tendency to move rearward into the driver’s compartment is reduced. Ve, in the split second following the collision when the person behind the steering wheel is thrown by forward energies toward the steering wheel and dashboard their energy is also partially absorbed by the inherent safety workings which are integral to both the design and safety roles of said steering column.

Conclusion: Newer Energy Absorbing Steering Columns Are a Wise Upgrade Choice – First for Safety & Secondly for Driver Comfort:

Hence it can be said for “street rods “ and “street-rodders” that newer style “Flip=Flop energy absorbing steering wheels make a lot of sense – not only for appearances , comfort and luxury but also for road safety.
