anything can be modded and with the amount of work you have already done i can see it being a major prob i think the splines are different though andy is the guru on this topic

If its just the splines I can use the Swift column.

Hi Allan,
I might have one from AWD Swift.
I might have given to Madzuki mind.
Let me check my garage first!

I use the one from the 1600AWD Swift.
You can use the GTi steering rack. The S'rack spline coming out is longer on the GTi as the steering rack sits lower on the firewall than the AWD (its about 1" longer). You have to use the bottom bit of the GTi column to make it work. Its spline is thicker and shorter.
If swapping the column completely 'depending on year of Justy', you may need to weld the 2 main bolts that hold it up. The newer MK4 Justy's have wider studs so it won't bolt up.
I did this to my car and at the same time lowered it 20mm to the column angle correct for the new seating position.
Hope this helps.
Also Allen, I have the new batch of Wilwood brake adaptors getting made, ETA should be about Tuesday and your strutbraces are ready to go...
