Steering Column Mount

[Tatey]

I'm looking to weld on my steering column mount, but have a question about the column. I got the column for £12.50 from ebay. The bracket it comes with doesn't seem to fit anywhere on the column, I can't seem to find any detailed pictures on build threads to show me how it fits and as I didn't remove the column myself I can't rely on how it goes together.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Here is a picture of my column:



I've also taken a picture of my build as it stands, 2 of my shocks arrived today from SSC (I can only afford two at the moment, the next 2 will be ordered next month). I've also started trial fitting the engine and fabbing up engine mounts, I just need to wait until I go home for the weekend to pick up some 25x50mm steel to make the mounting arms.

I don't think the ally bracket is part of that column
the folded metal bracket is what you bolt to the car

That's what I was thinking as the folded metal bracket does the same as what the ally bracket would do on a column, but it came with the column so I assumed it was needed?

It is an adjustable column, so i guess i'll be using the folded bracket!

Mine is adjustable, I don't recall seeing the alloy bracket

Interesting as I have pulled the column from a Ginetta G20 and its fixed with the ally bit shown in Simon's picture,The square holed bit is the one you want.
