A way forward ............

I am guilty of letting the lack of a steering column bring progress to a halt, so have devised a plan to be able to continue. It seems the outer dimension of the steering column is 32mm, which also happens to be the inner dimension of solvent weld waste pipe. I will continue with the build using a length of waste pipe in place of the steering column and as I now have the dashboard can progress the bodywork build around the scuttle. Watch this space ........
