Would anyone know if the subframe from a 1.2 clio is the same as a 16v item?

I know the Williams is double skimmed, but are the others the same?

A guy locally is breaking a 1.2 and I aim to get the steering rack&column ready for my manual stereing convertion, and may get the subframe aswell so I can clean and repaint it.

Oh, & what about the seat runners??

Thanks

subframes are the same. seat runners are different between phases.

Will depend on the car in question.

IIRC some subframes have a different internal shape (i.e. where the sump would sit) meaning a 16v won't go in without some "reshaping" - a.k.a sledgehammer.

They are all the same basic shape though.

Thanks guys.

While you are here...... do I definitly need the steering column for the manual steering convertion?
Someone said I can use the PS column but by suring it through 180d

You mean buying the manual items?

I got mine for 7quid but had to remove them myself...i guess 30quid would be reasonaly elsewhere

Yeah, GSF. Was thinking of buying new. You think its worth it?
What about manual column's you know how much they are new, and you think it would make a differance?

that is manual i believe.

I was thinking of new everything, after repainting the sub frame.

I know, £47 for a manual rack. I was asking how much for a manual column

I'm thinking the same as you though. Paint sub frame then fit new rack&column
