rob_bower Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yes your also need the cowl to also check if it's adjustable or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzagee Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 In one word noWhy you might ask is because the Glanza column is shorter at the end and the knuckle won't reach the rack have a look at my garage you will see the mod I c/o also don't think the Glanza column will bolt up to the bar under the dash The way mine is Glanza column and n/a rack all I need now is the n/a cover for the bulkhead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I know several people who have fitted them to n/a conversions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snails ep91 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 glad i asked now.will look at your build thread now mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snails ep91 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 for gods sake. i was certain they were interchangable. whats annoying is i had a glanza column but it got scrapped with the shell ages ago. can anyone shed any light when doing the conversion what they have done with regards to fitting the wiper stalks on the n/a column?

PaulStarletSR Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 i dont need to do any of this pish on my conversion do i? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snails ep91 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 glanza wiper stalks dont fit the n/a steering column. mounts are different.so unless you can rewire the n/a stalks in you may potentially yes.unless anyone has a better solution...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 news 2me. no1s ever said.tbh if i have to drill a couple of holes n screw them in place i will.i aint goin thru all this pish.I've had enuf to get for it as it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 It's not that simple Paul the stalks are a completely different shape and so is the plate on the steering column and cowl it's all different the only option is swapping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 what part is the cowl? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzagee Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 And as I said before if your car is na then you are going to need the bar under the dash aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snails ep91 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 what a pain in the ass. cheers for the help mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 what part is the cowl?This bit dude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Let me know what's going on mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Just to update this the columns are different, they have different mounting points and a different cv joint that meets the steering rack so to fit the glanza steering rack you also need the dash support bar that runs across the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 This is weird as i brought two different n/a cowls which didnt fit my sr but i brought one from a glanza along with all the other interior plastics and the glanza one fitted perfect :sIt was from a 98 spec glanza not sure if this makes a difference?

glanzagee Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I've been saying it needs the bar aswell for the last week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
