Bit of an update. Started drilling and cleco’ing panels. Man what a chore this is, not particularly hard just mind numbing. Some panels require a bit of massaging like people have said, however I don’t know that there’s particularly a wrong way in the cockpit. Whatever you can do to get this flush and seated well.

Locked in the main body on the back, lots of adjustment here for later. Was nearly dead nuts with the measurements.

New steering wheel came, just waiting on my adapter.

Just got the last coupler for the power steering, it should mount in the general area where shown, a bit more lateral.

You can see the column mounted in this, once the adapter comes in I’ll weld in the plate and secure it.
