Wanted: HK/T/G/Q collapsible column

I'm starting to pull together the bits for the meth monster project. Aim of this one is to keep it fairly period-correct, and to minimise the changes as much as possible. Aiming to keep the kingpin front end, and steering box.

A collapsible column will be mandatory though for the engineering. Had a good chat to George at Alien Retro, and looks like he can make up a replacement FB column for me to mate to the steering box, fully collapsible, and engineered. Happy days. Not cheap, but directionaly the way I want to go.

I'll need to provide George my FB column, and he also needs an early Holden collapsible column. Anyone got an early Holden collapsible column they can part with? Probably don't need to box or wheel, more the guts and mount.

Cheers,
Harv

I made one myself using the guide on the forum written by FBIDEK , easy enough , plus I made a mod using a Commodore top bearing - see the red rattler revamp thread.

Thanks Blacky. Not sure my welding skills are up to it though :oops: .

Managed to lay my hands on a HJ column (with thanks).

... then the dramas got bigger. Will start another Wanted thread :(

Many thanks. I'm OK for the late-model collapsible column... I got into trouble with not having an original FB/EK one to spare.
