Can anyone tell me what I should use to fill this space? It's the hole in the bulkhead on an MK, that the steering column goes through.

should be a plastic/rubber bush

He he, cheers.

Anything more specific?

The Halfords saturday boy got upset when I asked for a pair of nipples (bleed, of course). A plastic bush might tip him over the edge....

Any discount motorists should keep in stock a sierra column bush kit, which new cost all of a few pounds£3 or £4 max if I remember.
This includes both the rubber grommet and the plastic bush.
DEAN............

Lolocost will sell you the bush inner and outer (the bit you already have on the column) for £1.50 I think it is.

HTH,

Here is what we have done.



It is a self centering bearing with the collet tightened onto the triangular column using a self made nylon bush.
Its alot stronger than the rubbish sierra one!

I'm looking for donorparts, and need some help: do I need a specific type of Sierra column? I understand there are two types (new and old). Or is it not important? And how about an adjustable steering column?

I used an adjustable one and have seen non adjustable so suspect you can use either.

Ta very much for the replies...

I don't think £1.50 will break the bank.

Cheers

Tom
