Oh dear my shaft is to long
Just tried fitting the steering column to my cat e1 and discovered the column is to long. The length between the mounting holes and the end of the
outer tube.
Is there a difference between years of sierra mines a 1989 2.0i estate

Are we thinking colapsable columns again? I know there is a length difference between the adjustable and the normal, I have a non adjustable power
derived column if you need any measurements.

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

You can loosen the pinch bolt on the top sierra mount and get about an inch of play either way. I did it on mine and you can mount the column in
front or behind the top mount to get a bit more adjustment. Mine is a book chassis but it should apply to other types.
yours, Pete.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
