Steering Column - 1

Got some more bits today - includng all the trim and seats - not much room in the spare bedroom now!

First of the new additions to get some attention was the steering column. After a bit of careful marking out an undersize hole was cut into the bulkhead and opened up until the column shaft fitted nicely: Just need to open the hole out to take a grommet. Having mocked-up the rest of the steering shafts it appears that the second shaft runs very close to the headers - i.e. 3-4mm. I'll have to trim the second shaft to length to check properly. I might have to change to the Euro Chassis set up with another UJ, shaft and rod end which moves the steering shafts away from the headers.

I also wished I hadn't cleaned the engine bay the other day...... its full of dust again now!
