Well in between the showers that wern't supposed to happen I had a pretty good day

Got the seat belt mounts in, I've only got a 4 point harness on the drivers seat but some in on the passenger side just incase.

Had to get longer eye bolts as the standard length wern't long enough.














Thought it was time to get the steering column sorted so had a rummage through the scrap bin and came up with some 1.75" x 16swg stainless tube and a piece of 3/4" x 1/8" steel tube, and a lump of Nylatron bar, perfect ingrediants for a steering column.

I'm using a stainless Double D U joint so first thing was to make up a bung and weld into the tube. The bung is a piece of 3/4" bar that was roughly ground to have flats on each side then finished with a hand file to ensure a nice snug fit in the DD joint.












Next the bushes were turned up from the nylatron bar and bush holders turned, these are welded into the ends of the 1.75" tube for the bushes to press into.














I had a quick release hub for the steering wheel end so the hex insert was turned to be a nice press fit into the inner tube then welded and rosette welded in the sides.








Viola !!! 1 steering column made for peanuts.












Topped it off with a 15" Grant wheel.








A few bits of tape to hold in place while i settled on a comfortable position.
