steering column too long?

[Shorty]

That must be what I'm thinking of cos I remember stepping in and the aluminium floor bowed slightly.

The base of the scuttle sits at the upright tube and angles forward ~10-15degress. So if the wheel was much further forward the controls would foul the dash.

The Adjustable column does however sit a bit further back than the standard one only amout 1CM, never realy liked the later setup felt more cramped.

I could try and measure it of my two cars tomorrow.

Sorry what do you mean by later setup?

I guess i was just very surprised at how tight it is, and I'm not exactly tall or on the larger side.

I can step into mine standing on the floor, that said my seats are pretty upright/short:

Steering coloumn mount is too high,it should be in the bulkhead plate above pedal mount plate,that would raise lower edge of wheel 2/3 ins 50/150mm

Flyerncle is right in what he says the column is intended to go between TR8+9, be under TR8 and pass through the foot well bulkhead. That said it may cause you some problems when it comes to your engine mounts and your steering shaft extension. Although looking at the pics again it looks as though you had the steering shaft passing through the bulkhead at some point already and changed it?
