Default Helm ???

Is there anybody out there that sells/makes a Hydraulic steering helm with an angle built into the base of it. All the helms I have seen have a flat base to them where they bolt up to the dash. I need a helm with a angled base. Any info guys?

I just got a 15* helm post from Imco as part of my external steering package.

IMCO offers both a 15* and an adjustable helm.

I need to buy a complete hydr steering for a single bravo twin ram set-up and they all come with flat base mount helms. I can get a tilt steering column but they are $800. If I could just replace the flat base helm that comes in the kit with a helm with a 15 degree base that will work KE performance don't offer that in the mayfair steering.

Could have your machine shop make you a 15 degree shim for the flat based helm?

Thats a good idea, I just have to check to make sure when the helm is mounted with a shim in place to make up the angle that there is still room under the dash for the hoses.

made this plate with an flat piece angled welded to the back because it was tight.
