I don't suppose anyone has any measurements of the Agila/Wagon R column? Specifically how much the motor sticks out.

I need something that is (ideally) ~20mm narrower (on the right) than the Corsa B

From the centreline of the shaft to the widest part of the motor is 200mm

Awesome. Thanks for that.

As a bonus it also looks like the Agila one points slightly "up" rather than slightly down which helps in my case.

Just for anyone else searching the Corsa B is 230mm for the same measurement, ie centre line to widest point. So it's *roughly* (and very roughly) 3cm narrower.

One more question. I can't find a steering wheel adaptor that is listed for the Agila/Wagon R+. There seem to be a few different Suzuki ones.

I don't suppose anyone knows what it's the same as?

Does the car have a quick rack fitted? A change to a standard rack will ease the steering effort. You would probably even find someone willing to swap

To answer my own question. It appears to be 21.4mm with 66 splines. After some research I gathered on various spline sizes etc this is very different from the Suzuki Swift/Jimny etc (15.0mm / 30 splines).

It does appear however to be the same as the following (21.5mm 66 splines):

BMW Z3 series E36 10/1995-01/2003: Z3 M3.2 1.8 1.9 2.0 2.2 2.8 3.0
BMW 3 series E36: M3 316g 316i 318i 318is 318ti 320i 323i 325i 325is 328i 318tds 325td 325tds
BMW 3 series E46 02/1998-2007: M3 316i 318i 320i 323i 325i 325xi 328i 330i 330xi 318d 320d 330d 330xd
BMW 5 series E39 11/1995-05/2004: M5 520i 523i 525i 528i 530i 535i 540i 520d 525td 525d 525tds 530d
MINI Cooper One Cooper S Cabrio R53 R52 R50 2000-2012 (Need 1/4" washers on top of hub so steering wheel nut tightens)

I'll probably get a Momo MA2012R, while it's a collapsible column anyway the extra collapsible boss/hub won't hurt for IVA either.

EDIT: Just to confirm, I've tried the A2012 and it fits.

If your fitting the agila set up in an open top car the Ecu needs to be tucked away and put in a bag to keep it dry . I've gone through two Ecus due to moisture damaging the board as they aren't sealed
