Naturally an engineer is good to talk to at some point.
Thanks Boof, not sure how flexible they are but I will still treat it as a car at this point. Seat belts are easy to install at this stage of the build and I have to change the steering column so may as well go collapsible at the same time. I picked up a 69 Mustang column a little while back so thats what I'm using.
But an engineer is a must I guess. Time to start looking I guess.

Had a pleasant surprise on Thursday afternoon, my order from Mid 50 had arrived.
Basically the disc brake conversion and power steer box and lines. Plus a few little bits and pieces required down the line.
Quite happy with the gear but no idea if it all fits, but that is just how it is.
New rotors
callipers
bracketry
and power steer box
On top of all that I got to spend and hour and a half in the shed stripping a door. Should have that task completed by November at the current rate.

Nassi - new parts is like Christmas. So this mean November 2017?
I hope not I like reading the updates.
I will someday think of something clever to say.

Nice pieces of kit Nassi.
