Time to move the mount

I decided to move the upper mount and make it correct because if I didn't fix it now it will always bug me. The steering column has a big sturdy mount coming off the firewall and that will have to be cut and moved as well. Moving the bottom mount would have been much easier but there were two problems with moving the bottom mount. One problem is that the steering shaft that connects to the steering box would hit the header and the other problem is that the brake pedal is already too close to the column shaft and if the base was moved over to the right the pedal would hit the column.

So I opted to move the top mount over by 1 3/8". A test fit made the wheel perfectly straight and a much better feel.
