That pretty well describes all the Spit steering columns. I think what is commonly referred to as "collapsible" is the type that resembles braided hoses except much larger and stiffer. In a collision, it acts like one of those Chinese Finger thingies. It will collapse and expand but not separate.

My 1500 has a collapsible column, a sliding wedge arrangement just above the firewall. It can be used as a wheel position adjustment too but you give up collapse distance. -- Jim Muller [email protected] '80 Spitfire, '70 GT6+ Suggested annual donation $11.47 You are subscribed as [email protected] [email protected] http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/spitfires http://www.team.net/archive _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $11.47 You are subscribed as [email protected] [email protected] http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/spitfires http://www.team.net/archive
