In all seriousness prob owes me 2g. When you buy a good EK column then a mint HK auto (anyone want a green wheel HK?) then pay shipping etc it all adds up.
I think George has done a really good job and I am very happy with the outcome.
Fatboys quote is standard 1200 for the mod after you buy the two columns and send it to Alien and that is only for a collapsible - mine is collapsible column auto shift. George can advise how much depending on what you want to achieve -George's number is 0438324661.
Considering you can buy an ididit column for 7-800 and is only collapsible OR non collapsible auto shift then trying to marry an FC wheel would be difficult.... then uni's wiring blah blah blah where I just wanted it done properly rather than trying to modify any steering component that the engineer would have kittens over.
Here I have the best of both worlds, collapsible AND column shift auto AND the FC wheel looks in it's place,
engineers happy
I'm happy
most importantly, WIFES happy
Hayden, Used the EK column as the shifting mechs are similar and easier to mate. I know the uni angle is going to be tight too. Can't pull the column back as there will be the shift gate to fowl on the pedals inside the car. I deleted the inhibitor switch from the column as well as there is one on the side of the gearbox in a VT
Others may have to consider this (and the PRND pointer on top the pot) if they want it done.
JOX515, it's going pretty slowly mate. I am in training for another position at work at the moment and it's quite intense. (Radar) Air Traffic control gets tricky at the best of times (No comment required JB)
I've actually been pretty naughty while waiting for my next car to arrive and ended up with a grandpa spec unmolested 5L V8 VT Calais in really good nick ridiculously cheap (yes she condoned it but only cause it was so cheap) cost less than the bloody column and its registered
