As I prepare to head out to the pick and pull to find a steering column to replace the one that is practically dead in my '80 245, I looked over the procedure in my Bentley manual.

Unfortunately for me Bentley doesn't go back to models made prior to 1983.

Bentley says that the '83-'84 steering columns were different then the ones they started using in '85.

Is it safe for me to assume that all 240s made prior to '83 had the same steering rack as the '83-'84 models?

Can a later steering column be retrofitted to my early car? (Would it even be worth it? As far as I know the only difference is different anti-theft devices.)

Thanks as always.
