Steering cowl

Nearly done now, body built, wiring in etc, only nasty that I have left is the steering cowl.

How have you made up the gap between the scuttle and the sierra cowl ?

If you use an adjustable column cowl then it's nicely taken care of

I found I had the same problem. Made one from some ally
And before someone points it out, yes, it was a lot of hassle. But then nobody told me there was a longer one available!!

From a Sierra fitted with an adjustable steering column i believe. My donor was H reg DOHC (GLS i think) Sierra and had the adjutable column. Cant remember what the cowel looked like though as i chucked it. i didnt use any of the std switch gera so was able to get the ally lock barrel housing modified and polished. MOMO steering boss also came with a nice round cover (not too long though).

Where did you get your steering wheel and boss from. Looks pretty.

Cheers

Both are Momo jobbies that I found on eBay - I painted the boss (along with the rest of the switch gear & covers.
