Hi Arthur,
Yes I used a wedge to lower the steering column, my son has a cast aluminum one, but rather than pinch his I made a one out of steel to similar dimensions, not a hard job and I feel happier with it than the aluminum one, and also the angle of the steering column left and right can be corrected back to its normal position

This is how I did the gearbox mounting, it is made from 2 inch angle iron machined down on one side to chassis height, in the centre of the mount an extension plate was welded on to bolt the original Reliant mounting onto. The whole assembly bolts onto a small section of cut down 2 inch angle that rests ion the chassis lip and bolts though the side of the chassis rail.
