might have to come a tad bit further than coventry to get it though

im trying to cut the top out of the cossie pedal box , weld a plate on the front (to add strength) the make up some kind of braket with a roller to carry the steering colum down till it changes to the triangle needed for the cossie steering rack.

every one ive looked at is different so i thought id keep it as high up as i could as im a lanky 6'3" sod

What you think?

Once you fit the "special" bearing it'll work perfect.
