I just found out how I'm going to fix the clearance issue of the Bimmerworld headers and the steering column:
Does anyone have any tips in how to achieve a nice cylindrical dent? I was thinking of taking a 1 or 1.5" solid bar or maybe black pipe, holding it in the desired location, oriented the way the steering column would run, and then smack the rod/pipe. I'm thinking that the header might end up being more egg-shaped than round with the cylindrical indentation.
