New steering column housing

New steering column.

The Minor steering column points to the centre of the car and the wheel is too flat. I wanted a more vertical wheel coming out of the dash straight at me. Also with my seat further back I could move the wheel closer to me. This is the Minor column housing remounted.
-------------------------------------------------------------

The column is made from CDS with a uj that goes onto the Minor rack. The uj took some finding. I am very careful welding steering columns and prefer pinning and brazing.

Wiring
Mini heater

I made a new wiring loom for the van. The hardest part was deciding where to run the wires not which wire to connect to which connection.
--------------------------------------------------------------

A Mini heater is modified to only blow onto the screen. This should ensure that that the screen does not mist up.

New pedal box
Brake resovoirs

Twin master cylinders with balance bar were fitted under the floor. The pedal is a modified Ford Escort item.
------------------------------------------------------------

The reservoirs for the master cylinders are mounted as low and far back as possible.
