Another trick question?
Is the column the same regardless of year of s30 or model if so can’t the mounting bracket be modified to suit ie only use 2 bolts for a late 260 ?😉
I'm on it, phoning a friend in Arizona (Greg Childs, owner of ZPS) and will let you know....

Ann is 75 now and Bob is dead.
Stop depressing us Rob. Top respect to Status for remembering her name, but then he is that bit older than me ;) Glamorous assistants wouldn't be allowed these days, the 1970's had the best TV as well as cars, music, fashion, haircuts the list goes on........... that's where I'd go back to if I had a Tardis.

So Greg has replied as follows;
'Aside from the bolt holes, there are smaller differences elsewhere on the columns but nothing that major (ignition switch placement comes to mind). In fact, on every car I build, I make a plate that drops the column angle (typically 10mm thick) to place the steering at a more comfortable angle.'

I have asked for volume pricing to see if it is worthwhile importing a few units over at the same time. Shipping plus customs duty/VAT make importing single orders prohibitively expensive.

Isn't the standard steering just part of the overall experience and allows for savings on gym fees?

I think we've a lot of members over 90, some pushing 120, its a big help for them.

I heard a rumour the reason Jason is a massive fan of 14 inch wheels and has fitted them to his car is he'd struggle to drive it on anything bigger without taking out a subscription to Woodbury Park gym EXTRA:D

You’ve only bulked up boy because of all those Doughnuts you keep scoffing,( Laugh,I could’ve cried )

Any update on the pricing side of things? 😁

We couldn't agree on a price that made it a viable exercise as he wouldn't offer a proper discount.
Strength of the dollar, import duty/VAT/shipping costs make it way too expensive.

Think when some of us have gone as far with our Zeds when it comes to making them very quick and all the other bits that come with it money is no problem
