Auto Column or other option for column shifting a Trimatic??

Post by VS355 »

Hi Guys,

Will be fitting a Trimatic backed red motor to my Ek in the coming months (hopefully :? ) and i don't want a floor shift. I have been looking for a Auto column to put in it but don't seem to be able to find anything...
Is it really this hard to find an Auto column EK or HR? If i can't find anything is there a way to hook it up to a manual EK column?

Any help wth this would be great :)

EK, EJ, HD, HR would all be fine, I don't think the manual column would work with it's different innards, keep searching :D .
