Not sure what you mean. Do you mean the steering column shrouds? I used the the two scews at the front to hold the shrouds together. For the bottom shroud to ignition barrel, I used a srew left over from the Mk1 dash that was long enough to reach. The screw didn't fit the screw hole properly but it works!

I fit a mk2 column aswell,although you can just change the plastic part at the top.

yeh not 100% sure if its called the cowling but yeah that it the part I meant! haha

big job fitting the Mk2 column?

what plastic part at the top mate?

[dathers]

the plastic bit at the top of the column that the stalks clip into,change that and the proper screws can be used if you use a mk2 cowl.
