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.

so if i sitt in the driver seat & the steering wheel feels centered that sould be ok ? if so did you have to modify CP16?
Cheers

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??:confused:

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.:eek:

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!!:D :rolleyes:

it would be helpful if someoe had the dims for tube sw3 (i think) for the mt75 tunnel?

and does the sw1 25 degree end have a 9 degree compond on it or am i looking at the drawing wrong?
