Post Steering Column
On my 1989 GTM Coupe, I think the steering column is from a Triumph Dolomite? While at a British car show on the weekend I noticed that in the two Dolomites that were at the show the columns were the same as mine, but mounted 180 degress. On the GTM the key is on the LH side with the lighting switch on the RH side.. so it looks like the one in my car is backwards? Is there a reason for that in the GTM, or has mine just been assembled upside down??

Mine is key on left, lights on right. Check the wiper stalk mine goes down to operate the wipers. I know mine is not 100% level if you really look at it

Same setup as mine, but it feels strange as I have to turn the key backwards to get the car started..
