10GBP - and only one problem - I got no key to ignition barrel... It would be my first barrel breaking in life


Genuine MOMO hub (K4524) - I tried it on my column and looks like it fits...
Apart that I already have Raid steering wheel (different PCD)... but for 6,40GBP - I couldn't resist... I'll have excuse to buy snap-off adapter ;)

Next week I'll get another column - adjustable one and OEM Sierra steering wheel...

Nice ingredients going into that roadster soup:cool:

Take the column to your local auto locksmith and he should be able to read the barrel and make a new key.

Thanks for advice ;) Too late... It's already broken... took me about 1h.
Beside, it could be cheaper to buy new barrel than make a new key...

It's motivating when you see chassis start to look more and more like a car...

On Friday I picked up my new master cylinder:



As you can see - it's for Fiat - Uno/Panda.
Delphi LM70023 -19,05mm bore, 3x m10x1 outputs. I hope it would be OK for my all-disc setup... (19,05mm bore is suggested by "locostbuiders" to replace standard Sierra 22,22mm master cylinder)
Input fittings are "extra" from my buddy as I plan to use external brake fluid reservoir.

It costed about £12... so one of the cheapest master cylinder on the market ;)

Saturday update...






Yes - it's straight (I plan to hide reverse motor and handbrake lever in it)
