Majordomo28 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Hi Question .... does anyone have experience of the Neiman Steering column lock? It was offered as an option on the GT6 and for my sins I purchased one off ebay a few years ago.Has anyone got one fitted or ever fitted one as aftermarket? ThanksDom Quote
Clive Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID008089from that the implication is that it was an alternative to the std steering column lock, so presumably is a straight swap? Quote
garyf Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 My old Vitesse was a Personal Export model that was exported to West Germany (As it was back then?) My car had a Nieman Steering lock fitted and I managed to pick up a N.O.S. one at an Auto-jumble.I actually fitted it to a non steering lock outer lower column section which I had to drill in the Appropriate position.I used the original inner Steering column which had been modified (Presumably at the Canley Factory?) by welding an outer sleeve on the column about 100mm long with a slot cut in it to suit the position of the Pip on the Steering lock.I know the later Heralds/Vitesse's and presumably Spitfires/GT's from 1971 on had a different WASO type steering lock fitted, which I believe was because of new UK regulations insisting all new cars where fitted with Steering locks for 1971?Hope the above makes sense, if not send me a PM.Cheers Gary Quote
thescrapman Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I am sure I have a couple of Herald columns about with the Neiman lock fitted.I'll have to try to remember to go and look at them to see how they fit. Quote
