harlequin Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Hi all I currently have the steering column of my CF TR6 (Nov 72) in bits and one of the jobs is to replace the broken cover that covers the wiring, my original has the front tag missing and the clamp at the bulkhead end is also gone. I picked up a good secondhand part and after repainting it did a trial fit only to find that it covers the hole for the steering lock. I checked both Rimmers and the Moss catalogues and they list the same part for all TR6 plus TR4, 4A and 5 but I suspect the later cars with a steering lock have a different part, can anyone throw some light on this?

ed_h Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 I can't answer your question directly , but can offer some pics of my 74 column with steering lock. Some of the pics near the bottom of the page might help. http://bullfire.net/TR6/TR6-46/TR6-46.html Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John L Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Rimmer lists a different number to moss without the lower bracket that goes around the column, could this be the one your looking for p/n 611369? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harlequin Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Ed From your photos I can now see that what I thought was a missing lower bracket is not the case and the later cars just did not have the clamp and are also a bit shorter John I looked at the Rimmer catalogue and saw the main picture showed the cover item 30 with the clamp/bracket but didn't notice that the individual listing for item 30 shows it without I suppose I was expecting to see alternatives for early and late cars Thank you gents part now ordered George Quote Link to post Share on other sites
super6al Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hi George My harness cover was also missing. Last week I ordered this part (611369) from Rimmers. Despite the photo, it still has the clamp that will cover the steering lock. Save your money & cut the clamp off your original one. The upper column clamp should secure it.
