I have a single stalk on mine at the moment but want to put twin stalks so I can lose the wiper switch off the dash, mines a '71 chassis with IRS but not sure what column I have as the builder has obviously put a earlier front end on it with a beam.
Here's a couple of pics with the steering wheel off but I will have to put some up of the end of the column near the steering box to see what's what :-\


Any help or ideas appreciated as not sure where to start or go with this, for now I think I may just buy the wiper stalk and try and get it to fit if not may have to look at changing column!!  ??? :-\

Hi Mate.

Having a close look at the end of your column there and it seems that it did have a second stalk already it now has a wrap around cover over what used to be a twin stalk fitment.
Have a close look at what you got there, if you still got my number give me a call.

Cheers H that's what I was thinking and hoping as I saw the cut out on the right hand side but wasn't sure if that was just were the ignition and steering lock went, now with the lighter evenings I will hopefully get round to having more of a chance to look at it this week but I can chat with you on Wednesday over a pint ;-)up

I think you are right it is for the lock to fit on the coloum I checked a spare that I had in my shed and took a photo.

Kenny,

Elemental this weekend may be a source for a cheap column or just another surround.

Speak to you on Wed eve.

A twin stalk setup won't fit on a single stalk column I'm afraid.

There is a tab on the column the cowling slides onto and it is in different locations on a single column compared to a double stalk column :-[

Best thing is to try and get a full column with teh twin stalks on it and simply change the whole column over on the buggy.
