The Ford Barn

RHD brackets that go under the dash rail are not available so I made my own. They are just long enough to lower the column a few millimetres so that there is no pressure on the original bracket. The bottom half of the original bracket is used to clamp the column to the new one. In some cases, that has been enough to stop the leak, others I have sealed from outside with an epoxy putty. It doesn't look original so it won't please everybody but works well and provides an excellent place to mount those extra instruments discussed in a recent thread.
