Default Wanted: Sierra Steering Column - Complete

It seems to be impossible for me to get my hands on a complete steering column assembly for a reasonable price. People on ebay seem to be wanting £100 for one, which you could if you are lucky get a complete car for, so does anyone happen to have one hiding in their garage?

Cheers

Is there an alternative to using the sierra steering column?

£50 on ebay delivered . The question is, how different is it to a sierra column and would any mods need to be made to it?

So from looking at the sierra, granada and scorpio column, they are all pretty similar, but the sierra column has a smaller cowling and uses a different mounting method.

I'm guessing they all use the same method of fixing to the steering rack?

What would you be willing to pay for a complete Sierra column?
And what exactly would you expect for your money?

I ask because I may be able to help.
