id say brace it to the chassis if you are just running it through fibreglass atm? there is a very nifty steering column bearing that you can get for few notes , there is a link around somewhere recently posted by mr henderson, that you could make a braket up for and it would stiffen the colum up nicely? otherwise have you any pics of the current situation?

no pics at moment.there is a 20 mm tube that runs from one side to the other and there is 2 brackets which come down verticaly then a 90 deg bend which then goes to the square tubeing which runs along the top of the footwells.when i move steering wheel up/down i can see round tubing flexing?

yes i know what u meen mine flexes too but not been a problem been on the road for 3 years know
hope this helps Kev....

lovely thanks for input.
