Just to confirm what Ash said.
It is not critical as long as it's central to the driving position.
I made the bolt slots longer so I have more up and down adjustment
I also made mine bolt in rather than welding.

If you bolt the CP16 plates to the steering shaft you will see if it needs modding.

Use a tape measure to make certain the steering wheel is in the centre.
Then tack CP 16 to the sw bracket and chassis.

You need to have up and down movement from just touching the chassis cross member as seen in my pic to about 40mm up ( This is not critical)
But will depend on what seats you use and how big you are.

I'm having problems with this aswell, where does the 9 degrees on the drawing in the book go? I'm also trying to adapt it to a mt75 tunnel?

Any ideas or am i just being dumb??

Default Mt75

Hi,

Check the sticky on the announcement page- you will need (like me) to follow them & then make adjustments for your MT75.

I think trying to do too much modding elsewhere before making the amendments to the central tunnel, which is a structural assembly, could be quite dangerous.

I don't have the book to hand, but I know the design was completed by an engineer- you may be an expert in car chassis but I am most definately not!!
