Covering The Steering Column Zero

[Guest Andy Gaskell]

Hi all,

 

as the title to this topic states, how have you been covering up the steering columns on your zeros? i have looked on ebay but carnt find and original sierra covers. I bought a grp one from ebay but was really poor quality and sent it back.

 

So.... Keep on looking or other options?

 

Cheers

Andy

I am also interested in this subject as my WB Zero kit did not include a steering column shroud. Living in Australia means that Sierra bits are more rare than rocking horse poo, so any suggestions regarding alternatives (no, not for rocking horse poo) would be great.

Once I have made a batch, I will take photos and post them up here so you can see.

It may be a while as I now have a large trench dug right in front of the garage so I can't access it

Hi mower man, your spring or mine?

I am in Melbourne, so it is unlikely that we will catch up, unless you are in the mood for a 1000 km drive for the day

There is however a nice car just out of Sydney that is being built (and should definitely be on the road by then). It is a zetec engined Zero (not WB/GT). I would be happy to put you in touch with the builder if you wish. He is an ex pom (30+ years ago) and also has a Merlin that he built here in 1992.

 

Simon, thanks for the offer, but I do not need any new poo - and besides I can get any quantity I like from the factory (ex VAT of course).

Whilst making 'a batch' does sound a little euphemistic, Si was referring to making a steering column shrouds, not taking a dump.

Apologies Simon, the meaning of your note got lost in the translation from English to Orstralyun. Would be happy to have a look at your next 'batch'.

 

Mick, I will mention it next time I contact the guy in Sydney. March/April will be a good time to visit Sydney.

 

Cheers

I see.

 

Although "English" is the common tongue, it seems that the meanings of words can get "mixed up" along the way !

 

I hope that no one is in a hurry to get these though as it may now be next year before I can get anything done as holidays and WW one style trenches are dug in my back yard ...

Nope, there has been a house built next door and they wanted to tie into the drains on mine.

 

It just reminded me that it looked like those photos from the first worlds war and the trenches there (albeit on a smaller scale )

 

Good job the weathers been too bad to think about getting the kit out though ! I didn't envy the workers who were working in the bad weather though whilst I stayed in the nice warm house ... !

[gr8nomad]

Hi bolton1966,

 

XR6 ute eh, hmmm bet you don't have anything quite like that over there... but you do have a great kit car market.

 

What engine have you put in the zero?

 

I will give some thought as to how to fill your friend's suitcase.
