Apparently when you fit Courbeu revolutions the steering wheel sits slightly to the left, so i am told i will have to get a custom steering column, any gen on this please?

Corsa B steering column and joint and custom column mounts worked for me.

How bad it is will depend on how you fit the seat, and if you angle it slightly to suit the car.

Well the column sits slightly to the left as standard, it's just you notice it more with deep bucket seats. lol

If you're mounting the seat on custom rails and side mounts, you can angle the seat inwards slightly and so could retain the standard column without too much back pain.

Or you can set about straightening the steering column, I used a Corsa B steering column and bottom joint with mounts welded in to the car. Problems with this is you may need to use a Corsa brake setup to free up room, and I doubt it'll work with a dashboard.
