Michael. 2313 Report post Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) G'day, I'm after a thinner lower section steering column for my E36 coupe, is there such an after-market part available or through OEM BMW, Ive seen the US spec ones are thinner, but probably aren't compatible on LHD cars. The reason I need this is just to gain a bit of room between the column and the custom exhaust manifold. (The part I am referring to goes from the fire wall steering connection to the steering rack) Otherwise, are there specialists that can modify these parts? obviously they need to be done to a high standard, being that it is steering related.

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted January 11, 2011 Thanks Ray, I think you're onto something there. (part number 1...) Would you happen to have any off your wrecked cars? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted January 11, 2011 Vorshlag in the US do one they use on their LSx conversions: Link Should work LHD or RHD as the splines are the same, maybe double check the length Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted January 11, 2011 Hmmm thanks for showing me that. Could well be an option, expensive like I thought though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HELLBM 1557 Report post Posted January 12, 2011 Should have one. Sold a few for what you are looking at doing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted January 20, 2011 Suggest you sort the exhaust out rather than dicking with the steering Yeah this is the route I've decided to take. Otherwise I'm adding an unnecessary complication I can avoid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
