bracket for steering column
Turbo Mini Forums

i'm in a bit of a pickle.

the bracket that goes under then dash bar that the steering column bolts to has broken and ms or mosses dont appear to sell them.

anyone know where i can get one from. its item no. 10

a scrap car??

I think I may still have one in the back of the workshop, although I took a load a load of stuff to the skip on the weekend.

well if you have still got it rob i'll take it off your hands, let me know what you want. failing that i'll go down scrappy with drill in hand as it has those silly snap off head bolts.

If you use a drop bracket, These are FAR Better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have one on your car sprocket? If so could you post a pic? I'm looking at these, but not sure yet...

I wont have any time in the next two weeks to even look at the mini, never mind take a picture of the bracket, lo. If you can wait i'll get a pic put up when I can.

it can wait. I'm about 4 months out from having the car back on the road anyway. I'm thinking these replace the actual bracket, and then you still have the adjust that holds the steering column itself, right?

thanks sprocket, ouch on the price but alas its needed and will get rid of my drop bracket.

I Sprocket doesn't mind, I put some pics of my car up

They are expensive, but worth every single penny! :) Much, much better than those cheap chromed wobbly drop brackets :) Much tighter steering column! And better looking

But you can't position the steering column in the std. position with these. But that's not what they were designed for anyway

In short: highly recommendet! :)

If it all goes Pete Tong, I have a spare standard bracket on the shefl at home if you want it for a fiver delivered.

PM me with your details if you change plans.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

I have my seat nearly on the floor behind the cross member, and I can just see over the top of the dash. I needed a slightly lower rake on the steering column and a 90mm deep dish steering wheel to be able to reach the bloody thing lol, that and a short shift gear stick so I could get it into 1st and third

Unless you are tall, then you end up with the gear stick under your leg in every gear but 1st and 2nd and unable to get back out of the car without doing something undignified!

They're grand if you're a normal height though

I think I will be adjusting the seat position in my car if I ever get that far
