Can I have your cowlings if you do get rid? I want to take moulds from them

Click my eBay link in signature, selling some stainless steel stalks which I'll do you bit of a deal on if you like.

Mine isn't finidhed yet but i won't be using the stalks or ignition lock. I have cut the lock away from the column and plan on using a piece of pipe to go over the column to make it look neat. For the indicators and lights i'll be using toggle switches on the dash.

Two pieces of black UPVC guttering - one top half, one bottom half.
Jigsaw cut-outs for switches etc. Make a bulge for the ignition switch with help of a hot air gun.
It's what I did anyway! Dead cheap.

I've used the stalks from a pug 106, copied from a tiger build diary I found on the webs. Switchgear is a bit chunky, but they're plentiful and cheap.

I used a bake bean tin wrapped in vinyl, and attatched to the steering wheel,

That covers all the nasty bits!!

My indicators are on a normal 3 way switch on the dash, but dont have self canceling
