And the steering wheel was a head-bender - but we've finally got it in place, with rake and reach adjustment working and a complicated fabrication (well, really it's a flat plate with some bent bits and lots of holes, but they're really complicated holes and bends and it's taken most of the day to make it!). It's all properly braced to the bulkhead and the pedal box, and even with the weight of the wheel it's nicely stable.
It's a little off-centre, but nothing serious, and I can live with that, and just the right position to hold with one arm on the window- ledge. Just one tiny problem: having mounted it, we measured the steering shaft, which was too long. So we worked out how much shorter it had to be, and Joe cut out the required length and TIG welded it back together. Fitted it into the rack and the column, and it's an inch short. Damn. We'll have to make another one. But at least the car now rolls on the correct wheels and can be steered - which makes it at simpler to move around the yard. At present though, the only things it would pass an MOT on are the handbrake, the wheel bearings, and the emissions (it has none!) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
