So got a bit more done today, we re-routed the main batt cable in the cabin, fitted new ariel, attached manifolds and master cylinders and pedal box. We also attached the steering Collin drop
Bracket attached a chair and tested the driving position.

Well all I can say is it's perfect fit for me!
Piccies!!!! (forgot to take my camera so only a couple taken by my dad of the driving position)

I love those wheels!

Your steering wheel is loooow :D I only used a normal drop bracket on mine and thought that made it tight.

It's really coming together nicely :)

@bcjames, did you loosen your steering rack bolts (the four on the floor that hold the U bolts around the rack) when you fitted your drop bracket? if not that will be why you steering was stiff.

i love my wheels as well! it shouldnt be too long now CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!

why dont you mount the seat abit further back then it would give you more legroom and easyer to get in and out my seat is a good 3" behind the cross member and iys a very comfy driving position but only a 2 seater then

The wonky one in the speedo is really annoying me... I know it's just a trial fit but yeh, if it's like that when it's finished, I shall drive over to yours and adjust it haha

looking good though
