Default Pics of adjustable steering column?

Merry Christmas all, hope you haven't munched on too much bird

I have a got an adjustable steering set up on my donor and looking to transfer to my roadster, has anyone got some detailed pics of the adjustable steering set up? Seen lots with the alloy boss bolted on (which looks much easier) but can't find much on adjustable

Thanks in advance all

It mounts exactly the same as the standard column. What else do you need to know about it?

A bit difficult to explain... on the cars I have seen so far the cast alloy boss that is mounted on the steering shaft just simply bolts to the brackets, simple. On mine there is a pressed bracket that the column would rest in but it only support the steering column underneath there is no bracket over the top to secure it (unless I have lost it?) I'll try and take a pick when I get home

Hope this makes some sense!??!

Cheers

TT don't worry just figured it out .... I was being a numpty, I didn't pay attention to the assembly method when I removed it from the car and just found an expolded drawing which explains everything!

For those with brains like mashed potato hopefully the little pic attached will help....

As teacher said in every school report... must pay more attention... yes miss.
