Collapsible Steering Column Recommendation... ???

Can anyone recommend an 'off-the-shelf' collapsible column, or point me in the direction of some suitable drawings?

Cheers.

Early 90s Rover 214 as a nice easy to remove unit with nice controls and no airbag

Sierra one has collapsible section + Crush tube




The choice is great for collapsible columns
fixings vary + splines etc.
Good luck

I have used MK2 MX5. Mk1 is pretty much the same.

Cheers fella's. I should have mentioned that its for a single-seater race-car doo-dah, so as simple and in uncluttered as poss.

That said, there are likely some bits I can scavenge from some of the suggested columns to make something suitable.
