Steering column Spitfire & GT6

[DJB350Z]

Hello,

Does a Spitfire share the same steering column assembly as a GT6?

Thanks

It depends on which model of Spitfire.

Essentially, the MKIV and early 1500 Spitfire column is the same as the MKIII GT6 column.

The late 1500 Spitfire column is completely different - but can be fitted fairly easily with other modifications to the electrics and the upper mounting brackets.

AFAIK, the Spitfire 4, 4 MKII and MKIII columns are the same as the GT6 MK1 and MK2.

But ultimately, all MKs of Spitfire columns can be fitted to all MKs of GT6

Apart from the late 1500, all spitfires, heralds gt6 etc. have the same column the only real variation is whether they have a steering lock, which was standard on mk4-1500 spitfire and certainly GT6 MK3 but a rarely fitted option to earlier spits.

Thanks both! If anybody has one of the compatible units mentioned please drop me a message.

Thanks again.
