I have questions… Bring your best answers if you could please!

The steering wheel shaft is about one finger thickness, away from the dashboard!

IMG_0862 That’s not enough to have the steering cover on it it takes at least two maybe 2 1/2 finger thickness between center of the steering shaft and the lower part of the dashboard. The mounting surface of the two ears welded to the steering shaft I absolutely flush with the bottom of the dashboard structure… So there is no angle change going on. It’s just flat right on itIMG_0863



nothing is twisted. No pressure on anything that’s just the way he wants to sit right now… The cutouts I made today have about between one and 2 mm clearance to the power steering box… I have not drilled the two holes for the rear bracket!

I think, a small movement on either of those attachment points would make a usable difference in the spacing. I’m looking in the front.

how does all this angle change affect the steering  shaft  after  it…?? ?The  hollow  “D” shaft coming through really does not have any movement in it. Am I going to stick everything together and see what spacers do I have to put in the front…

or enlarge the cutout in the back and make pie shaped spacers for the front.. which still doesn’t mean the steering shaft is gonna end up where needs to be… It only has one joint! I only can change the angle after that joint (pivoting at this joint)!

any input?



(I think just stick everything together loosely and see where it ends up - The good old rolling the dice)
