STEERING LOCK SPRINT,

[geni]

who can confirm or say the origin of the steering column blockage for Sprint?
Triumph Spitfire gt6? or other model?

I believe it's the Spitfire, GT6 & TR6. See the parts digrams listed under https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-158459

Geni,
I'm not certain I know what you're asking for. Phil posted a source for the switch. If that's not what you're after, then can you expand upon the description.

"Blockage". ?? If you're looking for the steering lock spacers that limit how far the wheels turn in either diredtion, that was in the rack itself, not the column, and it was Lotus-specific. The rack was an Alford & Alder part similar to the one used in the Triump Spitfire for the Elan & Europa, and in the GT6 for Elan +2, but built with some Lotus-only parts... including the spacers that determine the steering limiters (blockage ?). If that's what you want, there is no "Triumph" specialist who will have them... try Sue Miller at Mick Miller Classic Lotus, http://www.mickmillerlotus.com/

... or any of the more Elan centric Lotus specialists.

Or, given the dimensions, they're simple sleeve spacers any local machine shop could make for you. If that's what you're looking for, I'll see what I have in the way of dimensions.

If you're looking for something else, could you please describe it more.

Regards,
Tim Engel

Pour mieux comprendre,
il s'agit d'un ensemble sécurisé fixé à la colonne de direction montante, comprenant l'interrupteur à clé et l'ensemble du système de verrouillage bloquant la rotation de la colonne sur la direction.
Cela ne se trouve que sur le Sprint!

Google translated to:

To better understand,
it is a secure assembly attached to the rising steering column, comprising the key switch and the entire locking system blocking the rotation of the column on the steering.
This is only found on the Sprint!

Mais Oui!
