If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Hi how ever you do it it is a good idea to try and incorporate some variance / adjustment for the height. Very rarely dose a wheel that has been placed in situ in the workshop feel absolutely right when you start driving the car on the road.

Mark - Is your column just supported by cable ties?





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

What do you think the cable ties are for?

Seriously. the column has about 2" vertical adjustment within the frame
