Need some advice, will a LHD fixed steering column fit in place of an adjustable RDH unit? both are floor change manuals.

After the weekend lil yella now has 2” up and down as well of left and right movement when locked. So also now in the market for a CJ steering column, want to go for a fixed rather than an adjustable.

Is it a manual or power box you're after?


 

[Nosebolt]

not sure that went to plan...

did the 4 torx bolts up sunday, you were right they were loose. driving back from the dentist today and the column collapsed. no steering, no ignition and soiled pants, back home now thanks to a tow from a m8 and about to start stripping down the tilt column, but original question still stands, will the rigid LHD column from tonka fit in lil yella? need to get it drivable for work

[Nosebolt]

def need a new column, just stripped it down and the casting that the 4 torx screws screw into has fractured

[Panic mechanic!]

thats what happens when someone pulls on the column, if i remember correctly you may be able to get a rebuild kit and parts from an  vauxhaul senator as they used the same column sheathed in different cover.

[Nosebolt]

think i would rather swap it out for a fixed unit, never liked the tilt column
