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 I only used a normal drop bracket on mine and thought that made it tight.

It's really coming together nicely :)

[yeti21586]

@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!!!!!!!!

The steering was fine, I was more referring to getting in and out the drivers seat

[yeti21586]

oh i see now lol, well i dont have that problem as my steering wheel comes off, which is handy as i cant get out now with out taking it off.

[redhot-mini]

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

[yeti21586]

im happy with it how it is, and i do wont to sqaush people in the back at some point lol

[yeti21586]

Small update, dropped the dash off to be flocked and should get it back in a couple of weeks then I shall fit it with the dials etc and show you loverly peoples,

ah your using drift gauges! i was hoping to find somebody using these, how are you going to wire in the speedo as they are electronic IIRC?

[RossKnight]

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
