Steering column saga
When I first mounted the steering column it wouldn't line up with the bracket on the scuttle (seemed to be two long and offset to one side) I made up a small adapter plate - problem solved so I thought.
Then when I fitted the exhaust down pipe the steering lower column wanted to pass right thru' the middle of it! To solve this I "moved" the hole in the footwell through which the steering column passes. I made a bigger clsoing plate up to fill the hole (The marlin one was welded at the wrong angle anyway) Having moved the hole in the bulkhead the steering column now lines up with the bracket on the scuttle (well almost) and it misses the exhaust downpipe.
To be fair to Marlin I guess there is some variation in the downpipes - but it's a bit of a co-incidence...
