700/900 series question.

[volvosneverdie]

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:

[volvosneverdie]

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

[Speedy88]

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?

[mac]

No

[valman]

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?

[gl340]

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.
