sierra column questions
pekwah1 - 28/2/11 at 09:25 PM

Hi guys

Just got a couple of questions regarding sierra colums.

1. Is there such a thing as a steering lock on this column and where/how?
2. Which is the collapsable bit?

ps. sorry for the dumb-ass questions, but it is getting late!

Cheers,
ANyd

1999, that must have been one of the last.

Assuming the barrel is still there.... !

You should have a convoluted tube, with a more solid alloy sleeve up top. The steel inner column within the alloy bit has a cut-out that the tongue of the lock (from the barrel) goes into. Collapsing bit is the convoluted tube, plus the column itself after that is a sleeved triangular affair, sleeved with a couple of nylon spacers.
