Does anyone know which model granada the 400SE triangular steering column comes from? The clamp for the tilt adjustment on mine has some parts missing and it doesn't clamp the column solidly. I am have real trouble trying to find the right part numbers for the parts. Each granada seems to have a different clamping mechanism. The nearest I have found so far that looks anything like my setup is from a 90-92 German Granada, but surely TVR would have used a column that was easier to get at the time than a german part? Any ideas would be a great help. They appear to be very hard to find parts.

My adjuster (400SX so SE) got a bit loose last year so I had a look at it.

It just appears to be a bolt with a nyloc on it and a few washers, and the handle thing, all I did was nip mine up a bit tight so the handle is quite tight even when loose.

So you could just get a long bolt, set the height, and do it up tight.

Mine was never used after I had set the column height where I wanted, it depends how many drivers will be using your car?
