The Steering Box

Good evening.

Firstly there seems to be conflicting rumours about where the newly acquired steering box, column and wheel came from. It is such a long and convoluted story involving a cellar in eastern Germany, arrests and questioning etc etc that it is probably best told at another time. I can confirm that its acquisition had nothing to do with meeting the world famous auto jumble purveyor Albert and an exchange of cash in the M25 services.

And so to fitting it back onto the chassis it was intended for. Everything going well, it seems to fit where it should although a slight modification to the somewhat unfinished dashboard was required. What doesn't fit is the drop arm from the box. This seems to be too short to give adequate steering lock so it's been decided to fashion a new one from solid in decent steel - not a bad thing, but another quite large job at a late-ish stage!!

Over and out.
