Cptkirk, just read through this all and I'm in awe as I'm sure everyone else is!! I really like the way the steering rack comes toward you in a much flatter position than normal. as I've read it is just a basic rack from z cars, do you think it is possible to fit into a normal mini say with a modified drop bracket to attach it to? again absolutely loving your build, a car of my dreams you've built!!

Thanks.
I think there's a couple of things you need to consider, my seat is quite a bit lower and further back than a standard seating position. I am aware of drop links that are available at good mini parts places but I couldn't tell you how much they are......
I am sure that with a bit of thought and ingenuity you can achieve a similar steering wheel position.
yh i my seat will be going further back anyway as I'm planning on putting in a floor mounted pedal box and using a summit raptor to move most of the normally reachable buttons to the wheel. i thought about asking if z cars could fabricate a roll cage which has the same column mounting as yours does??
I am sure if you ask Z's can do it.
Personally I wouldn't go for a floor mounted pedal box, there's simply not enough room on the floor to do it, without sitting in the back seats to operate them. Go for a top mount system, it will work out for the best.
Good luck with your project.
seems like those guys will take anything on if asked
okay ill put some more thought into it, I've seen a few floor mounted minis and they work awesome, only time will tell if I'm daring enough to put in the time and effort for it.
will you be at santa pod this weekend by any chance??
