    Steering column - Upper section inner shaft

    I'm after the above for Whitey - It's the inner shaft that's within the upper section of the steering column assembly (what the steering wheel locates onto, and the other end slots into the U.J).

    Replacing the column bushes on Whitey and noticed the shaft teeth (that slot into the U.J) have seen better days (read worryingly worn), hence would rather play safe for the future with another shaft with more meatier teeth present.

    If you can take the inner shaft out, I'll take it please mate (just saves me having to remove the upper column assembly, swap over the ign' barrel, etc).

    Ok, I'll see if I can find one already out of the shaft housing.
    Need any shaft bearings? Got some of those too.

    Thanks Matt.

    I've got new bearings (that's why I was removing the shaft in the first place as the old bearings had worn/was quite a bit of lateral movement present).

    Just incase Matt can't find a shaft already removed, or doesn't have time to remove one, if anyone else has one, drop me a PM please - Needed fairly urgently.

    Re: Steering column - Upper section inner shaft

    I had one, just looked but it's gone. I must have chucked it into the metal recycling.

    It did have some damage to one end where I'd hammered it to get it out of the bearings / outer tube. Very soft is that metal. Be careful how you hit it, use a block of wood or a mallet, not a metal hammer.

    All sorted now mate, but thanks for the offer

    I haven't forgotten about those 'boxes either - Just need to find some time to get down to you to collect them...
