Which column / stalks?
DH2 - 28/9/11 at 01:09 PM

I'm thinking about using column stalks in my Stylus. It currently has some nasty old Escrot ones, which I'd like to replace with something a bit more modern. Anyone used anything other than Sierra ones (not to my taste)?
I also have some minor reservations about weatherproofness thereof - whilst I will have weather gear, sometimes it is difficult to avoid things getting a little wet. But I quite like the idea of a multi-function control rather than loads of buttons/switches.

Ah that looks useful, thanks.

Further thing I neglected to mention... I'd quite like some with a variable intermittent wipe function if possible. Also I'm not tied to the Sierra steering column (again currently has an Escrot one), so am open to suggestions on that too.

I was going to use a Renault stalk, but never got around to it, and then went with Savage switches instead.

You are welcome to it if it is of any use (assuming I can find it ):

I can think of one great reason to stick to Sierra column switches - the vast majority of kit car looms are made centred around the Sierra switches. (just my tenpenn'th).

Tim, do you know which Renault model it is off? Though French car electrics...

I'll be making a new loom for the whole car anyway, so not an issue in this case.

I think it was from an old Clio. There were a couple of threads of people using them. I orginally found This on the Westfield forum.

It does not have the plug or loom, so I was going to use small spade connectors or solder a home made fly-lead on.




( becoming less sure that I still have it - I'll look tonight. Pretty cheap & common on ebay. )

ive used a306 column ,the n/s stalk does all lights and horn,one stalk much neater and no o/s stalk to catch getting in and out ,

I've got one of the 106/saxo light stalks plus the plug and cable which I don't need. (all lights including fog +horn). You can have it for the postage (or collect from Norwich).

Don't have the wiper one though, so can't help there.
