Do any large barge geniuses happen to know if 700s and 900s share the same steering column spline size?
I.e. would steering wheels/bosses be interchangables?

Cheers all.

I would say yes as the 900 was based completely on the 700. Here's a bit of proof too:

Yeah, I thought so too. Just wanted a Definative yes or no.

Well, buy whatever you're thinking of buying. And if I'm wrong, you can punch me in the face. Deal? (I'm counting on the massive distance between Bristol and Newcastle here)

Deal.

I would have also accepted a Mars Bar.

Just to throw in a tiny wobbly -

Fitting of alternate steering wheels to 900s (presumably Barge) - small matter of airbag in wheel boss - if you disconnect
the bag and change the wheel you bring up the SRS warning lamp and de-activate the seat belt pre-tensioners.
Possible MOT and/or insurance bothers ??

I'll go back to sleep now,

Ah. Thanks very much for that Mac. Thats the kind of knowledge I was looking for.
I had just blindly presumed it was pre-airbag.

Is the column height adjustble on 900s anyone?

No
mac

while on the topic of pre tensioners, is there a way to bypass that? i.e no airbag wheel but still have seatbelts that hold you in should the worst happen?

yes, each belt and steering wheel has separate electric circuit.
Just do not connect wheel airbag.

Yes, 960.
No, 940.
Also 760 yes, from 1987 on.
