Franck,
I can understand you wanting to "make it correct" to align with the Heritage
Certificate, but the only adjustment brings the wheel closer as compared
with what you have now, which is too close to begin with in my opinion.
This seems like a lot of work for someone like a P.O. to go thru...could the
Heritage certificate be mistaken and your car was actually built as is?
The non-adjustable stator tube is solid, and a bit more robust, whereas the
adjustable unit is a two-piece design with a slot to accomodate the wheel
sliding in and out. This slot is also suppose to keep the trafficator from
spinning while the wheel turns, but the slot can get widened.
I prefer the non-adjustable set up; others will disagree I'm sure. I'm
curious how many listers with adjustable columns actually ever adjust them?
Or are they all as close to the dash as possible?

Subject: Changing Non-adjustable to adjustable steering
Hello All,
I bought it 2 years ago and restored it since. It is
working now.
I received my Heritage certificate and it says that I
had an adjustable steering wheel
My car has a complete and working non-adjustable
steering wheel (ie, trafficator, etc ...).
I would like to change it to adjustable.
I think I have to change:
[Please correct me if I am wrong]
1. wheel
2. hub
3. steering colomn
4. trafficator
5. statuor tube
Anything else?
Would you have spare parts for some of these?
