[Wanted: Parts] Steering column tube - urgent!

[kvinyl]

Looking fairly desperately for a steering column tube for the '58 Ghia. Looks like the one shown in white below, apparently the same size one was used in similar vintage Ovals? Possibly around 95.5cm long.

It won't be doing much steering, put BMX handlebars on the fucker.

I have! It's currently set up with the metal leg of a table that I chopped up at work and it works, just madly vague and feels like I'm driving an '80s era video game...

At least you could still play those whilst pissed !

I can't do forza very well sober either.

Just this week I took delivery of an oval steering column and wheel from Johan via Pete via duts (Thanks guys! )

It'll be a while before I need to use it so if you want to borrow it while you seek out one of your own you're welcome to it.

Gentleman Trev, absolute star Yes, I'd be delighted to avail of that, should help me speed up the process of getting my own one as I can verify length, etc.

Anyone going in the direction of Portlaoise to Galway?..!

If it is just the column/ tube I might have one somewhere.

That'd be great if you had one Johan - have the inner shaft with splined end and c-type bracket for under the dash but no bearings, seals, or large outer tube.

Like this thing?

I put it next to the one of my lowlight. The beetle one is about 2 inch longer (easy to fix )

That's the thing alright, even has some of the rubber bits attached for guidance. PM now sent
