I also saw some posts on another thread that suggested mounting the bracket on top of the top tube made fitting the side panels harder, so mounted it to the side of the tube instead.
Out of interest, what have you made the distance from the centreline of the steering column to the centreline of the chassis?

Hi, i eventually got it all fitted and uploaded a few ppics if it helps anyone,(all in the link in my sig)
I measured the distance and along tr8 it is just over 250mm from the centre of steering column, to centre of chassis.
Also for those interested i made the braket i threw out with some 3mm stip bent and bent it around the steering column and then welded and drilled some scrap 3mm steel around it.(also if youre wondering i will eventually get around to drilling holes for the
pinch bolt(oh yeah and i will add some bracing in the bracket as well eventually))
Completed steering bits:
