Iain's 20XE Trackday Nova

[Benn]

Pedal send up looks cool.

Spreader plate cut down and in position:



Cut some triangles out of the dip thing so the pedal can sit a bit more flush:



Stitched in:



Then thought I'd try my steering columns. Turns out the Nova one is going to be wayyyy too long, which means I'm having EPAS again!

Found this ex-brake setup hole could hold the bottom mount, winner!



Just need to fab a top mount and it's good to bolt in! Easy!



It's not perfectly straight as I hoped, but loads better than standard.

Good going dude!

billy bonus on the epas

[Dar]

You still fannying around with this!

EDIT: OK, good work.... Keep it up Get it finished chop chop

[Iain]

Column is in! Well, needs welding in properly but shouldn't take too long now:



Using Corsa bottom joint with EPAS column:



Top mount looks a bit ghetto at the moment. Two tabs are welded to the car (will be braced between them for strength) then the |_| shaped bit will bolt to those, hopefully giving me height adjustment!

Really good work Iain, really coming on.

When you coming to fetch these bits and bobs from me?!

[Iain]

PM'd

[Benn]

Looks pissed still...





Good work, brake pedal looks like a better fit now too.

[Iain]

It's not perfectly straight but a damn site better than what it used to be. Didn't have the room to get it perfectly straight (lack of room around the brake pedal and for the motor on the column). The seat is pointing slightly inwards too so it all feels straight when you're sitting.

I found it amazing how angled the column is with buckets fitted, no dash in mine so it really stands out. What uj did you use on it? The corsa one? Think a corsa non-pas column might be worth looking at. You think it would work with the dash fitted? (mk1)
