I chose to make a steel frame similar to the original, using the front RCR bobbin as the pivot. As I developed the body brackets, I kept running into issues till I figured out the pockets for the clamp plates ate not the same from side to side.

I understand the comments "they are not symmetrical" and "it's a 60 year old racecar" but somethings have to be right to make it work correctly.

Had to remodel the passenger side pocket to get them close enough to work. Moved up and back about 1/2" so the parrot beak would line up to the clamp plates.

RCR makes a great kit, but there are some issues that need to be addressed

The steering column flange bearing mount I received from RCR did not match the bearing. It was easier to design a new mount than to find a bearing that fit the RCR mount. I also added a hole above the bearing for a 1/4" All-Thread brace bar.

This mount has two design options, sharp corners like the CVF, and rounded.
It raises the compressor about 1-1/4" higher than the RCR supplied bracket.

Can you post the STL file for this
Thanks Loren

Looking for any ideas on how to increase the forum participation.  Wolfgang said, "Maybe scantily clad women?" but I don't think that's the answer

Everyone has expressed the problems of our texting system, yet that continues instead of moving over to this area.

Any suggestion? maybe a comment on the texts that you've posted your details here?

Steve, not sure I understand your question. I did not make any changes to the tunnel. I modified the tray to raise the column slightly higher, allowing for and maintaining foot clearance for the pedals.

A bonus: I found the column fits the RCR chassis with the new RCR rack perfectly. I did have to modify the end VW universal joint to fit the D-shaft of the rack. I modified the center bearing of the shaft so it would bolt to the tray. I will weld the quick release spline to the end when I have the dash installed and can determine the minimum position for the steering wheel.

It adjusts up and down / in and out about 1-1/2" each direction

Did you add on to the tunnel?

The year+ that I waited for my kit, I scoured the GT40 forum for ideas. One that made the 'must do' list was an adjustable steering column. Tom's Trackracer build outlined using a VW Fox column. They come primarily from England, they were pretty popular there. Found one on eBay, delivered for $60 US so I jumped on it.

It's taken some cut/fit to use it but I I'm gonna like this


More details to follow

ps:that's part of the collapsible shaft hanging down, looks like it will line up with the rack without modification
