Is this an early + 2 steering column?

Hi There

As per title, is this an early + 2 steering column? Does anyone have a pic that shows the clamp arrangement please? I have so many parts in so many boxes (from 3 cars) that I have not got a clue anout anything anymore!

There is no lower support, is that right?

Pics below.....Many thanks

Yes, an early column.
See photos below for bracket which fits to the 2 long bolts shown in your photos, with several flat spacers in between, to ensure that the switch ‘binnacle’ doesn’t touch the dashboard.
If you don’t have a workshop manual, you need to get one.
No support at bottom, but there is a sealing plate to the bulkhead.

Hello

Thank you. That really helps. Now I just have to find the parts.

I had a workshop manual until recently but unfortunately the container it was in got flooded and I did not notice for a while......

Must get another as you say.

All the best

Hi

Actually have just found another copy of the workshop manual. Thats what happens when you have 3 plus 2's

Hi Berni,
That doesn't look quite right to me.You appear to be missing the bracket at the top of the outer column that the indicator/headlight switch fastens on to.
Here's pictures of the column from my early car (Jan 68).
Note that the indicator cancelling cam fits lower down on the splined section.
