I have moved to some bodywork and the elusive quarter inch. Looks like the central spider had been wrongly positioned by the pervious owner; on the Tornados the back of the roof legs should be 14" from the chassis member of the rear wheel arch, one side was 13.5" I could just about take out the...

Hi Bill, the controllers are at production at present, in fact I am purchasing another Corsa column to test them, because I now have mine in the car, linked to the rack, so am reluctant to take it all apart again. Having said that, if I weld, then it is sure to come out. I hope to have the...

Thanks guys, I was/am reluctant to use roll pins, as I was worried that as the outer QR sleeve is not splined, the torqueing left/right would close the pin(s) and it/they would fail. I have no issue welding the sleeve on, the only issue is taking it off again to maintain or replae the column.

Thanks David, I don't have a lathe, I get all my turning done in a workshop which has the advantage of professionals doing it, the disadvantage that any design iterations are time consuming. Does the top part of the column (with the wings) just pull up and apart, is this the portion held in...

Thanks guys, not sure I understand it all, only 'cos I'm blinkered to this issue. The C column seems to be a bit different the, anyway in my case I wanted the top bracket (wings) so left them on, however I removed the plastic top part and the cast alloy bearing housing (with the steering lock)...

Just fitted a Corsa C EPAS column in the '40, the top of the column has a 22.5mm splined (male) shaft. I want to fit a steering wheel quick release sleeve to this. The sleeve I have has hex head (about 1.5" across the flats) that locates into the steering wheel, and has an internal hole diameter...

Dr Bob, it looks fantastic, are you going to plate (electroplate) the suspension components prior to final assembly? Thanks for the VCR anecdote,.... now I understand why I was advised to hide the invoices in the garage. K

Welcome and good luck with the Tornado build Bob, if you need advice, I can recommend some peops! Keith

Got the water system re-plumbed during the Christmas break. I had originally removed the mechanical pump from the engine block for 2 reasons, first to save me having to run the heater hoses down the centre tunnel and second to remove the hump on the rear bulkhead. Of course like many/most...

Finally got the Corsa column in the car. When I bought the column it came with a telescopic adjustable lower link shaft which mates with the corsa rack. I was able to take this link shaft apart and keep the upper universal joint that mates with the column, I then took the original link shaft...

Welcome Sam, hope you fulfil the dream.

Hey Randy, welcome back you were missed, we were worried. My advice, for what it's worth,.... you'll never regret spending more time with family and friends, so the GT40 should never be in the way of that, you'll never regret planning and providing for your health and retirement, so again don't...

That's got to be GT40 porn, they are certainly not natural.

Got my Corsa C EPAS 'assistance controller' finished, I did not want to fit a knob on or near the dash! My circuit has a 10 second delay upon start-up before it outputs any pulses, then it outputs a constant rev signal for the ECU to know the engine is running. it also outputs a low speed...

Bob, yes very useful, I may be guilty of cogging some info! K

Been taking it easy on the car lately, "....you spend more time in that garage with that car............" you guys know how it is. Anyway had some bits in the workshop getting welded. Got the heater feed on the thermostat plugged and a bead welded around the hose connector (top right). Made a...

Cheers Andy.

I've removed my water pump from the engine block and am moving to an electrical one in the front bay. I need to know the thread used on the bolts that held the water pump in place on the block. These bolts used either screw into the timing cover or into the block through a hole in the timing...

Paul, it looks superb from this distance and up close as well. You can come and do my panelling any time. K
