Steering column
 
I know most on here are using Sierra steering columns but has anyone used any others. The reason I ask is because I have had the offer of a triumph Spitfire column and am wondering if there is any reason stopping me from using this

column
 
its easier to use sierra but not everbody does,ive used pug 306 so all the controls are on n/s so you do not catch as you climb in ,horn also on same stalk,the problem with something different is there is not much help if you hit problems ,phil...
