Looks like they have reduced the size of the whole frame that holds the steering rack. Also good they've fitted that cover to protect the bevel box, mine has taken a few knocks.
The last one was the biggest, huge dip in the road (Shadow and overcast under a tree lined street was hard to see) and the bevel box bumped hard. It actually bent slightly the whole frame up towards the floor. The screws that hold the steering column to the floor started to rub on the uni-joint. Had to trim them down and get some clearance under it again.

Cheers mate, will swap that around!
Yep that's the indicator that comes with the creative kit - has a horn function built in and I think hi beam switching? Will have to figure it out when I actually start wiring everything in I guess!!!

Yeah the clearances in some parts are very tight but it seems like a pretty good bit of gear!spl65t wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2024 10:27 am Looks like they have reduced the size of the whole frame that holds the steering rack.
