I've fitted a Sierra adjustable column. It gives you a 2 inch drop at the point of fixing.HtH
"just like that !"

The AVON steering wheel does seem a little higher than other SE7EN's, in reality though this is probably an optical illusion as the scuttle is so
shallow?
I am six foot 2 inches tall and had to mount the wheel in it's uppermost possition to allow my feet to get on the pedals!
'martthefridgeman', have you joined SATOC yet? I have a C20XE Powered AVON built this year and for my sins run SATOC, would be great to see
a new face???
What about some pictures?
Cheers!

Looks good, as do all of them until you try and fit the bodywork - good luck with that.

Sorry, something constructive as well:
The steering wheel does look about right and as Andrew said, the scuttle is a lot lower than others.
Should look right once you get the bodywork on.
