Hi Guys,

I'm actually managing to find time to move my build on, after 12 months house extension building! Now get an occasional pass from the missus, but blimey, she almost clocks me in and out of the garage!

Anyhow enough of that drivel...a question?

The steering colum goes through the front bulkhead wall at an angle, and I wondered if anyone has found a neat way of professionally sealing this?
There must be some glands that can be sourced somewhere that could do this?
Has any one made something up to seal this properly whilst allowing the colum to rotate? Hate the idea of leaving the hole as is, thats just cr@@p!!

Cheers

Keith

Draft excluder brushes?

It runs slightly eccentrically and of course at a down/diagonal angle.

So it's a tricky one. I thought long and hard. Then moved on.biggrin
