Hi guys,
Wondering if anyone here has done the spacer/washer on the steering column bracket adjustment to lower their steering wheel.
I think the 6 through it’s lifespan had different knee panels, and this is where my question is.
Will I be able to tilt the column without modifying the leather knee panel in the picture?
Will it pivot correctly? Or will I not be able to refit that knee panel?
The car is an ‘88 M6. But I think the L6s had similar panels.
Thanks for any help.
I have done the spacer trick to tilt it down a bit, but on a 79, so can't comment directly on the later knee bolsters.It may be an issue unless that bolster and its upholstery have some give. The bolster is attached to the dash, and the whole column and black plastic surround is what will move downward. Bear in mind you're only talking a few washer thicknesses of movement, so it may have enough give to do it.
