IMBSB...
how does the mechanisim work that connects the steering column with the canted over steering wheel in vehicles such as the ferret and other similar armoured cars? Is it all done with gears or some sort of universal joint?

It's just a set of bevel gears, I don't have a great photo, only this one...
