Steering Column and Rack

[FireKraka]

Guys (and girls) I just picked up this collapsible column and steering rack apparently they were in an EK over here, the column has a mounting mod on it to bolt into the original position under the dash.
Need to know where the column comes from so I can track a boss.

The mount points on the rack make me think it is a front mount, Torana it looks like it hasn't been shortened at all.

Appreciate your help

Hi Neil,
The intermediate shaft look short for front mounting.

I picked up a LJ Torana rack some time back.

Hi Neil,

Can't tell at all about the column but if you measure the thickness of the shaft and how many splines it has you should be able to go from there.

I can tell you the HT Holden and early Torana are small spline and the HQ onward were bigger in thickness.(Do not remember what the sizes were sorry )

looks HQ-Z to me , top bit looks like it has a HX-Z indicator sized hole that has been patched ? Bottom of the shaft looks to be 1" diameter which is HQ-HZ . doesn't appear to be collapsible , where is the crush area ? Should have a section on the outer that looks like Dean Laidleys fishnet stockings

Call this mob to identify the splines:

Thanks for the replies guys.
It does have a quite small Dean Laidley area at the bottom but not really enough I think for engineering and the rack is an unknown.
I haven't paid for it yet and I know the guy so I think I might give it a miss as I'm tied of trying to mix and match stuff and I don't really need it at this point in time.
Again thanks for responses
Neil
