Steering Columns
Recomend me a column please - Ideally in the length of 500mm , bigger is ok aslong as it can be shortened.
Ive got a sierra one , and theres too much to cut out of it.
Thanks

I don't believe locost does not have a solution to this, it has answers for everything.
Come on gents share the knowledge.
Cheers.

Thanks Sam
I need a column length spline to spline between 510mm & 550mm max , as per the picture point "A" measurement. Any advice re a column
would be greatly appreciated, as near as damn it will do .
A slightly longer column can be done, if I am able to cut it down.
In the picture the int shaft is a sierra one, its too long, so my intention is to use a longer column, the one in the pic is a the Fiat original @
400mm
The UJ joints will get a steeper angle to deal with, if they dont then my passenger will be working the clutch for me.

I am using a Vauxhall Cavalier column which is around 550mm. Try something from a corsa/nova they might be shorter.
I can measure it properly tomorrow if you wish, drop me a u2u if you do.

Thanks for your help Spider, if the cavalier one is around 550mm thats all Im after, as compared to the sierra one I have 700mm & Fiat one at
390mm...
A simpler job.
Cannot wait to cut & shut it, to become a real Locoster....
