as long as you use the plates to determine the distance & SW2 is level it,ll be fine & dandy
 it sort of "finds " its own position on the chassis rails, but as a double check keep an eye on the height measurement of SW2 from the book, get it as close as you can but ensure SW2 is level.By the way......is your steering column an adjustable one? cheers andy

As far as i know it's not adjustable, haven't paid it much attention yet, just measured the centers for the brackets.
Is the 71 degree angle of the plates not too critical then??

yes it is " in a fashion" so to speak ,
as this ensures that the column will be in the correct position/angle to miss any chassis rails ( TR9 & TR8 ) as it passes in between both of them, easiest thing to do is get the steering column & place it into position, & thus you can determine the correct position of SW1, SW2 & SW3, honestly, it makes it alot easier, as it takes away any "guess work" as you,ll see that the column doesn,t foul any rails etc. cheers andy

Are you cutting your own tubes ? If so and your working to the book dimensions then you will find that the angle on one end of the steering frame is wrong.

I remember asking Chris about this before and he confirmed they are wrong. The 71 deg to the top chassis rail in Fig 4.20 is correct. I have a memory that SW3 is the tube that needs the angle altering - but I can't be 100% sure. If you don't get an answer beforehand - I can check the angles on my car on saturday

Ok. Cheers, if noone can confirm the angle before tomorow evening, i'll try connecting all the other bits up then cut SW3 to fit. Should work
