Collapsable Steering Column

Hi Guys, I have done a search but not got a decent result. Has anyone purchased a collapsable steering column hub in the UK, from whom and how did you fix it? This is obviously something I need to think about for the SVA. I am not sure what steering column I have either, this doesn't help much and I want to use a removable steering wheel too!!
Thanks for any info,

Re: Collapsable Steering Column

Speak to the Enthusiasts Club there is one that is made for the job using a removable hub. Brings the wheel too close for normal driving but great for the test!

Re: Collapsable Steering Column

I have a removable boss system with a Mountney steering wheel that had no collapsable bit. Mountney do a collapsable boss ( I got mine from Merlin)
I made an adapter discs to mount the removable boss to the collapsable boss and the steering wheel, also a mechanical fix to prevent removal from the steering shaft for the SVA test

Try Mick Sollis at Southern GT he does a unit that may suit.
