Leven need a Guinea-Pig for Mk2 Alloy Stalks

[glow worm]

I spoke to Jules at Leven last week and they are nearly ready to market alloy stalks for Mk2s, only trouble is they need a car to test them on. So if anyone lives in the Basildon,Essex area they would be doing the rest of us a good service by volunteering... I'm sure Leven would be open to some negiotation.
I got the impression the old stalks will be cut inside the cover and an extension piece slides over and is secured by a grub screw.

Do you know when they'd need the car? Could probably take a trip up there if the timining is right...

Gives Jules a ring at Leven 01268 281611... I think they're the same ones being fitted to the Farbio cars.

I thought the Mk2 had alloy stalks? (you mean the indicator one iguess?), are these going to be different in some way?

Yes, the Mk2 with the digital pod-dashboard has one alloy indicator stalk, but the latest ones with the analogue dashboard have two Mondeo stalks (covered by a fabric sleeve at the lower end by the steering column).

I think you'll find that you have, it's just that TVR put hollow alloy covers over the top of them. They're known as Salt & Pepper pots, because , as the story goes, when they "fell" into a tool box and went home, the were drilled with holes for salt and pepper and a stopper put in the end. Same one's were put on Tams,T350s and Sags.... so I guess they're all Mondeo stalks (under the covers) aswell.
