Have I got an abnormal steering column?

I got my steering column from a scrap yard sierra without a steering wheel fitted iv just noticed that some people have a female thread instead of my manly one! Am I missing a bit or what? Are there two types of column???

Perfectly normal! Nothing to worry about.

That’s a relief, thanks Howlor!

both are fine but if you get a quick release the one without the thread is just easier as you dont have to drill the centre of the quick release

Think the "bolt" ones were on the adjustable columns.

As were the ones with the male thread.
