Swapping 1500 steering column for a MKIV

[DVD3500]

Apologies if this is a silly question. I did try the search but the terms are too general for a good result....

As some of you know my (European) MKIV needs a new body and I found one in the form of a Californian 1500.

We haven't decided which frame/chassis we will use but but I prefer the sleek, dainty MKIV steering column with the "bump your knee on it" ignition as opposed to the TR7 style plastic box on the 1500's column. (brunettes, blondes....)

I know the rear axle is different on the 1500 but I don't see anything to suggest that I can't swap the steering columns over.

Anything to watch out or?

Thanks!

Well there are people who LIKE Morris Dancing so to each his own. 🙂

I will likely swap column steering wheel and all...

BTW: This also means I can put Euro bumpers on the car...
