Boxhead, i was thinking about that, but the only problem is being electric it could become a pain. If you had a flat battery and needed to roll it onto a flat bed or clutch start, the steering lock would be on.

At the end of the day it is just a rod that pushes up into the steering boss. I wonder if i can extend that right down to the dash and then try an rig something up that uses a cam that pushes off the barrel.

My reason for doing it is because my column has the barrel above the column so it is very close to the top of the dash.. like 5mm. If i lower the column it feels like it is between my knees because of the seats i have.

If i can move the ignition barrel, i can strip the column and replace it with a tight fitting alloy pipe to polish up.

Outwest, i am using a T56. The only problem with those suggestions is the electric thing as stated above.

Cheers.
