Default 88 sedan tilt steering/ steering wheel/ intermittent wipers upgrades

I have a 88 dx sedan that I would like to upgrade these componets. I found some tilt steering columns but all are from crx's will these fit? Also looking for a new steering wheel, havent found any civic wheels I like but did find a prelude wheel I like. Looks like it will fit but dont know if there will be enough clearance for the turn signals/ wiper switch. What are some options you guys tried? And finally I would love to add intermitent wiper to this car, anyone have any know how on this. I have done this on other imports easy enough just had to add the wiper switch and a relay. Is it all in the wiper switch or is there a relay that I need to find also and where is it located?
Thanks

The columns will work...they are interchangable ( thanks to foward thinking
engineers...think of Hondas as Lego style cars..you want one option,just
add it). The switches are plug and play...the only concern is the ign switch.
It is held in by a shear bolt...its designed for a one shot use...it can be removed
but you need a new ignition switch. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info, I went ahead and bought a crx tilt steering column. I found a way to save my ign switch. I used a drill and a bit just about the size of the shear bolt on the back size, the bottom of the bolt is concaved and unscrewed the shear bolt. Found the bolt size as a 8x1.25 bolt. Bought two bolts and rounded the hex head with a dremel and made a slot in the head for a flat head screw driver. Perfect fit

On the SHEER BOLT thing.

Same thing for the TPS sensor on the motor.

Just cut the head of the bolt off, pull it and then find a suitable screw to replace it with.. wha-lah, instant adustment.
