Iain's 20XE Trackday Nova

Yeah the whole lot is straight out a Corsa B including the joint. I imagine a non-EPAS would be the same dimensions etc?!

Not sure if it would work with a dash fitted, not even going to bother trying it!

Got my steering column top mount done, but it's flexing too much side to side for my liking where the horizontal bolts go (rubbish fabricating! lol).

Any suggestions how to stop the flex/redesign it?

some triangulation supports would stop the movement side to side

Good fab, boxing it in a bit more on thesides will help too.

Bracing on the bottom and sides???

Good fab work btw, making your own column mounts eh, top stuff!!!

I'd have used the standard mount if it wasn't miles different position to where it used to be.

I still can't think where to brace it as want to keep the bottom part unboltable (MS paint pics would help, anybody? lol). If I can't figure it out by the weekend it's having a fixed mount fitted like std!

Flat across the top to box it in more.. Was what i was kinda thinking..

Good idea Ian, I wanted to lower the steering wheel on mine, sits way to high.

Like Ben said, and brace ouwards each side :)

You could always space it down with washers/longer bolts on the standard mount?

New exhaust came today :d It's a full Ashley 2.25" system with 4-2-1 manifold and black tailpipe.

Manifold to system join is actually a sleeve fitment rather than a flexi joint. Should be okay on TAS solid engine mounts though?
