fellow Cobra Addicts!

I'm looking to change the indicator unit on my 1987 Mk IV Cobra (AK1201) to the original VW type used on the Mk III's. Currently the steering wheel height is a couple of cm's lower than it could be because of clearance issues with the existing indicator unit. The extra lift could make a huge difference in driver comfort.

The indicator unit was changed when the dash was redone to a more period correct unit emulating an AC 289 Roadster dash (the original Brian Angliss unit is not the best looking at all IMHO) but as seen in the photo's its shape causes it to butt up against the steering column recess in the dash. The column cannot be moved any further to the left and I can't really cut the whole any bigger as it will then be off centre and too close to the RPM gauge.

I’m pretty sure I have a Ford steering column with the triangular end design. Has anyone mounted a VW indicator turn signal to a Ford column and if so what modifications would be required.

I will also need to replace my 'steering column hub' if I am to change to the VW style turn signal switch. What steering column hub is used when installing the VW turn signal switch? Does anyone sell them?

I've attached a couple of pics that may help.
