been working on the car today, alot of the jobs were rebuilding the car with parts ive taken pics of before so could not be arsed with any of that.

i have been doing something new thou, i never got the EPAS working properly before as it keep breaking the controller i was using, i decided that while its all in bits i was going to give it another shot with a new column and a new controller so hopfully it should all work this time.

i was never 100% happy with how i mounted the column before as there was some movement so i took this as a good time to make some new brackets

first i found a suitable piece of steel



i then used the sheet metal cutter to get the right shape of metal using my spare column





i then bolted it into the car and cut a second piece of metal for the upright of the bracket



tacked that in place in the car then took it out to be properly welded





i wanted to make a small gusset to make sure the bracket did not flex, it is a odd shape due to space constrictions around the pedals



quick quirt of paint



and here it is fitted to a column





going to finish putting the turbo on tomorrow morning, then its on with the wiring
