Default Sierra column shroud?
I have 2 different versions? Neither fits?
I think I need one from a facelift mk2 Sierra, as the column came from a G reg 2.0 DOHC
I only need the top half? And would trade one of the other shrouds, or beer tokens, or a MT75 Gearbox?
Any one got one? Or any other Ideas on making the other ones fit?
Cheers again, Jas

We did have a go at it Ozzy but it turned out too fiddly to be able to take a mold off adequately. Will give it another go though.

Seen that Carl, hoping to do something like that for the Mx-5 Dashbaord to incorporate it into a combined scuttle / dashboard giving the scuttle a built in areoscreen while using the Mx5 dash built into the scuttle / dash. Giving a shape similar to the MNR car. If you see what i mean......

I moulded the sierra column surround a few years ago, worked out well but not sure where the mould ended up as nobody wanted one back then as they came free with the donor...

GKD Legend did the same with a BMW cluster, works very well IMO:

Wink Just a thought mate
Are you sure that you are not missing the little upper shroud mounting clip ( Just above the hazzard warning switch !!??

The shroud I sent home with you should fit.

That was one removed from a 91 2 litre Twin cam jobby

As TT said, try & get a picture up

Yeah Ron I have that one of yours, and another I got out of a P100, they are the same, and then mine is different again? I have the little thingy, but it wont physically fit over the shaft?



Mine is the one on the Right
