When using paddle gear change, am I right in thinking you have to remove the switches from the sierra column and use normal switches mounted in the dash. If so does the ignition switch get removed aswell and what alternatives are there. Also how do you get on with the steering lock as this is one of the anti theft devices for SVA isn't it?

What solutions have you used. (any pics would be good)

take a look in my archive at my r1 car stu

theres one that shows the paddles

basically you have an ign barrel somewhere else and a battery cut of switch

I made a clamp and used a quick release kit from Rally deisgn

Description

switches went all round the R1 clocks

The Dax paddle shift enables all the Sierra switchgear and ignition barrel to be retained. There may also be others out there too.......

Got rid of the Sierra lock and had a new bearing carrier made up and grub screwed it to the column tube.

I'll have ignition key on the dash and a separate electronic immobiliser to satisfy SVA plus a battery cut off.
