I think the steering column would be the easiest thing to modify, I can see no reason why you could not use a column off any car, airbags not
withstanding
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I should be using a Manta column, nice callapsible bit, I have a few laying about, nice standard steering wheel so it doesn't look complete toss
for the SVA, and if I decide to keep the stalk (there's only one on it) then as I will have no screen or wash/wipe, I can use the stalk for horn
(use the wash button), lights (use the wiper selector), dip/main and indicators, thus having very few other switches (only the foglight as far as I
can think, the hazard is on the column too)
Also the stalk is nice and metal and not horrible and plastic and bulbous.

My donor car was an SD1 Rover V8. I used quite a few bits from it, including the steering column. It is collapsable, and adjusts up, down, forward and
back. I hope this will make it easier to get in and out of the car. I am keeping all of the column mounted switches for lights, wipers, and
indicators.
Cheers
