Got an adapter from ebay
Fits on the column fine but too big to fit inside the boss, so I need to find an engineering shop to machine out the boss and fit the sleeve.

Need to get the handbrake chromed next
I've got a wooden handle for it, the same as the steering wheel, winders, pins, etc.
Just the gearshift to work out next.

Still messing about with little odds and sods while I'm trying to source rear arches.
Whipped the handbrake lever out
Wood grip and billet release knob
Been sitting in my garage for nearly a decade so it's a bit worn looking

While the lever is off being chromed I gave the grip a few coats of walnut varnish

I got a reply from him after a few weeks because my original email had gone to his junk folder. Emailed him back for price and delivery and haven't heard back again, that was a week or so ago.

He took a while to get back to me mate, I think his dad hasn't been well. But he will reply, eventually. you could also add him on Facebook, he's on there

Oh dear.
I'm not desperate, I'm still messing about with little bits, so I won't hassle him.
