Hello,

 

Depends what engine mounts you use HQ engine sits low HK T G engine sits higher . Maybe the floor needs mods with the hammer or rework the bottom pipe work to clear.

 

This is what ive done there are other ways!!!!! this is still work in progess

 

Use a LH inner shaft this puts the first universal joint past the block so you wont need to push the column over as far, You"ll need to use some sort of suporting bearing (LH streeing shaft bearing ) at the base i machined up a bearing retainer or recess the original supporting bush up to you.

 

 

Moved base over about 15mm to the right. make up a plate to cover all the uglyness and bolt it in place.

 

 

I also moved the upper column mount over about 8mm to the right. Make some appropriate size washers to get the spacing right. Welded some plates in place of the original alloy spacers and slotted them so the column could still collapse in an accident. The column ended up sitting up against the R/H side of the lower switch panel.

 

 

As for the cross member i just scalloped it out to provide clearance for the lower steering universal

 

 

Like i said this worked from me others have different methods you just need to be confident in the end result its your neck!!!

 

The Hurricane extractors fitted with good clearance and i could see no issues.
