Steering

Standard Spitfire rack — early ones and some Herald ones are 'quicker' than late ones. With wider wheels a 'lock stop' may be needed on each side to limit range or wheels may rub on body — MOT failure. Jubilee clips work.

The column is shortened Imp with an alloy bottom bush by Ginetta. Use the felt top bush rather than the plastic one. From Speedy Spares, Shoreham.

Relieve the UJs on the lower steering shaft so that they don't foul at extreme angles.

Fit the UJs at 90° to each other.

Achieve as straight a steering column run as possible by loosening the upper column and pulling the steering wheel slightly towards the driver.
