FWIW, TS39781LO had the split column. The added mounting tabs on the frame, and the captive nuts on the firewall all looked original, so I'm fairly confident it was built that way.According to TRA's Judging Standards manual TS27000 to TS42000 may have one piece or split steering column.
One of my bits of Triumph memorabilia is a brand new RHD worm![]()
The box itself is also mirror-image, the steering column is always inboard of the rocker shaft. The arm with the peg comes in from the opposite side. So, for a LHD box, pulling the peg towards the driver turns the wheels to the left; while for a RHD box the peg has to be pushed away to turn left.I'm still trying to understand why LHD and RHD cars would have a different worm. Does turning anti-clockwise make the car go right?
So obviously that is a split column, which I believe is the same for either fixed or adjustable steering wheels.View attachment 31557
