AP2289 Build log 'stage 2'

BJ - no, that would compromise the strength of the tube.
Also.....there is a section of 3mm plate triangulating the area behind the cross tube through to the firewall; the upper steering column bearing is mounted to that plate.
I'll get to a solution

Speedometer is now fitted




I made up a 'wedge' to kick the speedometer out at the bottom to clear the horizontal structural tube. The speedometer cable and the odometer reset cable now fit and function correctly.

Here's the wedge...




Incidentally, the reason there is an adaptor ring for the speedometer is because I was not sure whether I would be using the 4" metric speedometer, or my 5" E-Type 160mph speedometer. In the short term, common sense dictated the use of the metric speedo.
The adaptor ring is in tune with the concept of an English FIA road/race car similar to COB6008
