Temporarily refitted the dash and the steering column. The column does have a lot of longitudinal adjustment. I hope there is just a tad more but I had to stop. The seating position with the pedals and wheel are very close to really good.
The steering column is angled up and it would really help if I could lower it. The top of the wheel is above the plane of the coach work which interferes with my vision. I do not want to look at the steering wheel.
Bob probably needs to answer this, but the clamp cross bolts securing the column to the dash bracket are at the bottom of the vertical bracket slots. I would like to extend the slots towards the bottom of the bracket as far as I can.
What I am unsure of is by reducing the vertical angle
1) Would any unwanted stress be expected on the forward footbox where the column passes thru the spherical bearing?
2) Would there be any expected binding in the steering joints in the engine compartment?
