RAM Sc--Steering Wheel Boss

[427sc]

Hello Guys,

Just a quick question for the Ram owners....the instruction manual!! states that a 'Motorlita' boss Ref B44 should be used (Saying it is a Cortina Mk 1 boss)....but the Motorlita web site states that a B44 is for a Lotus.....Any ideas which boss i need???

Thanks again

Dave,

The RAM is USUALLY fitted with a Mk1 Escort steering column, The end of which comes in two different fittings.
Best bet would be to take a photo and email it to Moto-Lita themselves.

I've got a RAM with a Motalita Steering Wheel. Unfortunately I bought the car and I've not got information regarding the steering boss. However I know that the Column is a modified Escort Mk1 and the boss is very basic - some would say classic. I can photgraph it and put it on the web site this evening if it would help.

Dave,

Attached is picture of boss on my RAM. As Simon and Ken have said column is Mk1 or 2 escort. Std Escort boss is much longer than the one I used. I went to Europa with column inner and an idea of what sort of boss length I wanted, then tried every one they had that fitted the Escort spline - unfortunately can't find reciept with part number. It was std black crinkle finish but I re-machined and polished it.

Lotus used Ford steering columns and they have an identical spline to the escort mk1/2 which is used on your Ram. So the B44 shuld work OK with your column.
