Hi,

I briefly considered moving the "buttress" that holds the front bulkhead vertical, and carries the steering box, forward, by one pitch of the three bolts that holds the buttress to the chassis rail. I think that would give you an extra 2". Of course, you'd need to find some packing between the buttress and the bulkhead ... and placate your MOT tester.

Be aware that the height of the hole in the back of the dash cubby will need to be lifted  ... I'll let you work that out.

I also wondered about swapping top and bottom arms on the relay..I think they are different lengths, but assume they have the same splines. Maybe, also, two tops, or two bottoms, could be fitted. This should alter the steering ratio possibly allowing a smaller steering wheel.  I did not investigate the likely results.

.... which would leave you with a radically altered vehicle and the consequences.

 :-\Just wait and get a Grenadier for the leg room and a trebouchet to get Barbara in, Of course it will need to be finely tuned or she will wind up in the drivers seat and you will not get to drive!  :LHD

Hi Geno,

Barbara would be unable to drive a car with the gear-shift on her right. We were once looking to buy some obscure but interesting car, but had to abandon the idea ... it had a right hand hand-brake. I can't remember what it was ... I suspect a Rootes Group ... but she drove a Sunbeam Alpine sports two seater .. so maybe not.

What's a trebouchet? Don't bother, nom doubt Google wil tell me

Hi again,

OK, I've got it. Medieval. it said. I thought they were more a Roman device.
