Another local builder...

here's mine, welded nuts in the ends of the tubes so it bolts in.

Hi how ever you do it it is a good idea to try and incorporate some variance / adjustment for the height. Very rarely dose a wheel that has been placed in situ in the workshop feel absolutely right when you start driving the car on the road.

Mark - Is your column just supported by cable ties?

What do you think the cable ties are for?

Seriously. the column has about 2" vertical adjustment within the frame
