Hi Hedd
Just to say I had to put a small notch in my dashboard to accommodate
the steering column, without a dished steering wheel I was struggling to
get enough clearance between the steering wheel and the cockpit capping.
That’s with the later flatter steering wheel, now changed.
The lesson being don’t finalise the body position unless you have the column
and the steering wheel fitted on the chassis. Luckily
i was able to resolve all the conflicts without too much trouble.
Some further progress on the Cup this afternoon, fitted a few instruments and figured
Out how to mount the silencer and tail pipe, so can now
refit the alloy under sills. Leaving off fitting the wings/doors till the engine is in and working!
Regards
Bill G
