He will be able to supply all you need and he's even in QLD. Rod also does the column shift auto conversion you asked about in your other post. He's is a really nice bloke who really knows his stuff.
Good luck

Hey Spider, you can use a number of columns. Gemini is quite popular and works a treat.
Cheers Glenn.

Any column is pretty good really - Commodore, Torana, Gemini or HK to WB as well.
What you need to consider is the shaft between the column and the rack. Choice of column can either make the shaft in between difficult to work or easy to work.
Torana columns are good because the shaft has a flat ground on it to locate in the uni with a cotter pin. This makes shortening pretty easy, but Commodores have splined shafts which have to be cut and welded to shorten

Thanks everyone for your advice,
Ken i had a look at the uni-joint for the rack and pinion and it has a short rod with 2 unijoints that has a round hole either end. One slides onto the rack & pinion itself and obviously the other for the steering column with holes either side, as if to run a bolt thru it to secure it. Would this be a lh lx type setup?

Yes this is Torana type, but it is NOT secured with a bolt, it is secured with a cotter pin. This is important.
