Sierra mk1 steering column covers
I would be interested to buy the upper and lower covers for an early Sierra with the square hazard button.
Just found that I have a set of early steering column but late style covers which doesnt match up the mounting holes etc.

Extremely rare I believe!
I recently watched a 'Late Brake Show' episode on Youtube, where the chap had made his own column cover for his Ford Escort - might be the
best option? (This was the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQMcHITnoG8)

Hi
The column covers are now very hard to find at anything like a reasonable price, I spent 3 months looking and ended up buying a complete column with
cracked and damaged covers , only wanted the plastics,
Some transit covers were similar as they use a similar hazard switch, also try looking for P100 column as this was Sierra based and used same
switch.
I looked at fiesta type and although the hazard switch was the same the plastics were way out of shape for the Sierra column
Good luck

Yes I may have to use my non matching set and create my own from aluminium.

I could 3D print it myself but taking the time to model it and then get a good enough surface finish + the brittleness of PLA then I think its easier
to make a cover directly from aluminium if I cant find a used set.

I think that'd be my approach to make the parts from sheet Ally, formed to the right shapes. I did similar on my MK Indy to cover a gap between
the Sierra top plastic and dashboard - I covered it with black vinyl before fixing it in place.

But make sure you remove the battery terminals before you try and fit the baked bean tin, as I forgot to do that and blew fuses when the tin caught
the key switch terminals
