No steering gearboxes (or columns) fit the 1200 except other 1200s.
But people have fitted with fabrication: * Rack & pinion * New electric power steering * cut the shaft, put a spline on it. Then can fit a 510 or B210 steering column see Steering Gearbox Swaps

Did it tonight, made a boss kit. Happy as.
Step 1) cut the spline out of stock boss kit Step 2) machine it till smooth strong and looks a bit nicer Step 3) drill out a plate that fits over the spline with aftermarket bolt holes Step 4) cut out and round off plate Step 5) on a perfectly flat surface space up your plate so its square with the back of the spline piece and weld it I now have my imported nardi steering wheel (came in a R32 I imported) sitting about half an inch from the steering column cover. Had to bend the indicator stem a lot but so much more room for my arms. A little too close to my knees now but still good. Down side is the nut that holds the boss on is now closer to me than the wheel so in a bad crash it would hurt. Not recommended for road use, haha

My 240z has a wicked boss that's flush with the end of the spline, thought I'd grab it and put it in the ute with my old flat Nardi drift wheel... 240z spline is bigger :(
I then ordered a boss kit from ebay... they sent one that was 1mm too big and about 100mm negative offset from the spline. Wish I knew how to cut a spline so I could make a positive offset one. Have to wind the window down so my elbow can fit somewhere, haha.

It's a bit of a moot point, but if you in a collision with enough force to collapse the boss kit, I think that the occupaints are in a whole lot of trouble anyway. IMO when it comes to steering components, careful consideration should be taken at all times. Over the years I have seen several different length boss kits available for the b110's. Interestingly enough, I fitted a [sparco] boss kit spacer in my track car to bring the wheel closer to the driver, hence the elbows a bent further to allow for better control... Doesn't make for getting in/out the car though. I guess the point of this thread is for making of more room in the b120 cab.

yep collapsable steering columns are designed to collapse but does a steering wheel manufacturer know there wheel/boss kit will always be fitted to one? Hence a collapsable boss..
Probably different bosses out there but I know my Momo Corse boss was designed to collapse in a major impact. Each to their own but I wouldn't want my chest facing a cut/welded/modified boss in a frontal.. You can view topic.
