Seeing as it doesn't have it's own thread I'll get one started. After plenty of research the early Cavalier R&P won as the most straight forward and developed steering mod, but good luck finding one. 1986 is the *newest* car they come in which is pretty slim pickings in 2025's wrecking yards. However the concept of a center takeoff R&P stuck with me and I found other's research listing a few later model cars that utilized that style. The 2001-2005 Honda Civics and Acura ELs utilize a center takeoff R&P and because I like Honda I went with them. The steering sweep from a 1970 Maverick is 5.25" (I measured mine) and the steering sweep from a 2003-2005 Honda Civic R&P is also 5.25". They are functionally the same. The Honda Element also uses a center takeoff but it is a few inches wider than the Civic's so I stuck with the smaller of the two. So in a quest to modernize the Cavalier R&P upgrade I am going to detail the job here as completely as I can for future generations. Speaking of future generations here is my son's first trip to the pick to pull to help me out.
