Well, I’ve been bad at posting again, its been a busy summer. I managed to get the steering wheel mounted finally (had to modify the hub adapter for the Momo steering wheel). I also mounted the e-brake lever, and routed the e-brake cable. I need to install a pulley for the cable coming out of the lever, but its basically done.
In other news, I finally tackled the steering rack. It was kind of scary at first but ended up not being too bad.. Just had to disassemble it, cut 6 inches out, reweld it, and reassemble. I had to repeat the procedure once because the first time I welded the rack together it wasn’t quite straight.. but the second time I got it spot on.
Next I’ll be modifying the steering column and tie rods, at which point steering will work (woohoo!). From there, I believe I’m done with all the big “scary” things.. I’ll probably be moving on to fuel or electrical next.
