My car (early TVR wedge) has developed a rattle from the top end of the column and I may need to have it replaced - Rimmer Bros don't have it listed so aside from eBay does anyone know a good source?

I believe I need a US spec one as the ignition key is on the right (are they usually on the left on UK spec columns?)

Thanks for any help!
James

Thanks - I have bought a couple of replacement bushes as the problem seems to be within the column and not related to mounting. I just have to work out how to fit them.

I'd get a suitably experienced garage to do it if you're not sure. I've changed the steering column bushes a couple of times on my TR GT6 etc and whilst not complicated in theory it is a bit of a ball-ache if you don't have the right tools or technique. (ie I had to buy a new column tube after my first attempt paperbag and that was with everything on the bench. )
I'm keeping the bushes in the glovebox until the next service!
