I,ve posted up pics of the extension to the steering column to the rack, quite a while ago mind, i,ve got some pics I could email to you if you wish?
Yes it does run close to "U2", thats the reason that i,ve "stepped" my extension as it goes down from the bulkhead down to the rack.
I,ll have a look thru my past posts & see if I can find the thread with the photos in.......gulp
i,ve got alot of posts to look thru
cheers
