Title: Steering Column Plates Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on January 12, 2005, 01:32:42 AM When refitting the steering column/firewall plates, should I be using some sort of sealer?

Anything to keep out the fumes. Otherwise your cabin will become...er...Stinky! The original plates had a rubber around the perimetre, as well as one around the column. The column one is still available from the usual outlets. If you weren't wanting to remake a rubber for the outside edge, I would use a windscreen type sealant, rather than an adhesive sealant, as you will have great difficulty removing it at a later date. Same applies for the gearbox inspection cover, however, from memory you no longer have one!

Although with a nickname like Stinky, I'm kinda used to it ;D

I went to clark rubber and found just the right U shape strip that would just wrap around the two half plates nicely once I postion the plate and start inserting the screws and just be for they start to tighten I fit the U shape rubber channel around it and cut of the remander and proceed to tighten the screws. Regards. Leon. ;) Title: Re: Steering Column Plates Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on January 14, 2005, 11:43:56 AM Thanks Leon, sounds like a plan.
