Thanks for the quick reply.
this Punto year/type is easy to find here in Denmark.
I know a junkyard, i think less than 100Usd for one unit.

Hi PanteraDoug.
Do you know what year of Fiat Punto?
Kjeld Pedersen
Denmark.
2006 to 2009 is what appears to be the application? They changed the name to a Grand Punto at some point.
I don't have a lot of information on that one and have NOT had that part here to try it.
That is not sold here in the US and the ones I am seeing are right hand drive, which indicates the UK market.
I am going by the pictures that I see posted for sale on Ebay.
You are really on your own on that one I am afraid?
In order to do a nice job, make it look original and hide the modification, you really need to find a spare Pantera OR 1970 Mercury Capri steering column.
Don't cut up your steering column. Save it so you put the car back if necessary.
Originally the kit from the Netherlands needed your column for the parts.
Now they don't. They must have found a source of them somewhere? There are none here. They are obsolete from Ford now.
I would recommend that you get the Capri part.
When you take your Pantera column apart, you will see the value of having the Capri column.
If you find the source of them in Europe, post it here. It will help out more than just one Pantera owner for sure.
On that Fiat EPS, try and get it with at least a pig tail of the wiring harness. It will save you time finding the plugs themselves.
You also want the u-joints and D shaft if you can get them.
Also be aware that almost all of the steel sheetmetal it will come with is going to get thrown away.
