Sierra Column Age?
Help!!!
Gotta Sierra column. Definitely one with steering wheel operated horn. NOT stalk-operated.
So, how do you tell if it's pre-'87, or post-'87??
Need to be able to make sure, before ordering the boss kit.
Anyone got the expertise?

i cant say for sure, but a picture of the wheel fitted would help. There are about 4 types from different years. id guess it was post 87, but thats
only a guess...

Your local Ford dealer may be able to tell from the light switch part number , thats if they are a little more helpful than our local dealers in
Cambridge

Thanks, Conrod, I'll check that out.
ReMan, the hazard switch has a round "top" profile, and a partially squared-off rear edge. Will try to sort out a pic - sometime. Not
mobile at the moment.
Thanks to all for feedback.

Joel -
Finally got up to the lock-up, and took this steering wheel shot.
So, pre-'87, or post-'87??

I always thought it was a simple pre 87 was the stalk horn, and post 87 has the centre push. The wheel retainer changed from nut to bolt in mid 90
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
