Re: Pre SVA TA steering column

Just a thought…

the MGB and Midget column has s a crappy piece of fibre matting inside that dries up - they need to be oiled every now and then - does your column have the same ? Because you might get away with just 'refilling' the mat

Re: Pre SVA TA steering column

Yes, there is a white piece of fibre with tapered ends. I think it has to be soaked in oil, so it will compress enough to slide it in the tube. I have not plucked up courage to try it yet, due to lack of space, mass of wires, and messy job, but I suppose I will have to give it a go. I really think it is down to lack of support, just where to fit it, is my problem. Obvious place is somewhere near the steering wheel end of the column, but that means drilling holes in the scuttle.
