early Plus 2 steering column
Posted: Fri Sep 06, 2019 6:59 am
Seeking words of wisdom.
Some recent great kindness from members has caused me to take a little time off and with renewed enthusiasm I finished most of the wiring and started to fit the steering column.
But it doesn't fit!
Perhaps the cut out for the upper binnacle under the speedo and tacho is not deep enough, although there is only about 7mm between the top of the cut out and the bottom of the chrome bezel around the speedo!
Or perhaps the rack is somewhow too low?
Even after slightly enlarging (deepening) the hole through which the steering column passes through the firewall, the limit of adjustment is quickly reached because the inner shaft comes in contact with the chassis a few inches aft of the universal joint.
I am obviously missing something obvious!!
Regards
Bill
