steering wheel cowling

[colinrees]

Hi,
The plastic cowling that fits around the steering column has broken on my 280i. It looks like a ford part to me, anyone know the part number or donor car ?

TR7 if early, SD1 later (with rheostat for instrument dimming), maybe Granada if very late (stumpy stalks)?

Thanks for that, any idea how i can identify which one ?

TR7 is squarish, 3 screws uderneath, long spindly switch stalks. Fixed column.
SD1 has same stalks, rheostat at right-hand side, lights switch underneath indicator stalk on left, column can be adjusted.
Late Granny (post 87, so probably not on yours) has short stalks.

Thanks, I think mine is the TR7 one.

Don't forget the TR7 one comes in two flavours, the cheap as chips left hand key entry, and the hens teeth rare right hand key entry.

Speak to tvrcarparts as it would be surprising as to what they have accquired from TVR. Was speaking to the owner yesterday on a campsite and all sounds promising.
