How big do I need to make the hole for my Sierra lower column bush?

I don't yet have one so cannot measure it, before you ask!

The hole for my paten one is 42mm dia

Thanks.

Unfortunately 42mm seems to be the only size that you can't buy a holesaw in... Do you reckon a 44mm hole would do the trick? Anyone?

Dunno but I stitch drilled mine then filed it down. Takes a bit longer but satisfying when you've done it

i used the next hole saw down then used a dremmel to take it out to the right size

Chain drilled and filled mine. It needs to be a very snug fit or it will pull out and flop about.

May get away with a size smaller?

Best bet is get a bush and start from there.

^£4 odd from Ford dealer in case anyone were gonna start paying E bay prices.

Loads on e bay for around £4


This one is £4 with postage

Cheers guys... I have a bush kit on order from MNR (also £4) along with some other stuff.

Think I'll buy a cheap holesaw set and use the 40mm + Dremmel as suggested.

Mines slightly under to be honest but is a nice snug fit without a kink mind. Good luck.

Mines brand new and knocks like hell. Theres loads of clearance to the triangular shaft.

Theres a distinct knock when I turn the wheel that just wouldn't be accepted by Ford these days!
