Rubble,

Commodore column is good or torana stuff works too (looks comparatively old now).

I've used UC column with LJ lower (bearing vs plastic bushing) and modified length to suit the close fit up with V8 and exhaust.  Wiper/dip/indicator controls are using a VB commodore stalk.  Column grommet thru firewall is stock FC.

knuckles (torana) - the cotter pins are harder to come by these days but CRS re-manufacture these. I got my knuckles from GMH years back.

If i were to do it now, I'd use commodore items.

Handbrakes, almost any car with a floor mount handbrake can be adapted to suit.   The EH I am driving atm has a VK handbrake welded in the floor.

U dont have to use Holden stuff, anything can work really, strolling thru pick and payless can be inspirational (or maybe that's just me).

hope this of some help.

Cheers
