Thanks. I've not started on my tail so will be looking for lots
of ideas and tips at Stretton.

Worked on replacement steering today. There’s quite a
difference in size between the previous drill and the one I’m
installing.

Not enough time to get into the next stage of the new steering
so made a rear view mirror frame

I built a fixture and mounted the new steering in the Bugatti to
test it out. It looks a bit like a Howitzer and I guess the
weight at the front of the CK might help a little with
handling?!
Now just need to find a couple of 9/16UNEF nuts (no so common
I’m told) so I can attach the steering column.

Yes I know! I measured the thread gap so am pretty certain.
UNEF (extra fine) exists but is not very common. Apparently
its also used on the MG Midget Mk1 steering column but at £5 per
half nut I'm looking for a better solution. If I can't find the
nuts at a reasonable price I might adapt the drill chuck and use
that to weld the column to or rethread the shaft to M12. I've
also emailed a fastenings supplier to see if they've got them.

Made some progress on the tail this afternoon. 2 plywood
formers and ply on the sides. Still need to glue and glass it.
Then I'll have a go at the top curvy bit - probably from foam.
