Well, been having problems with the exhaust making contact with the steering column on left hand corners so I spent a couple of hours making this today to move the engine over a little bit and also prevent it moving under cornering.
Whadda y'all think?

Hope so!
Looking at it, there's about 2mm between the column and offending downpipe!
Can't have been paying attention when I made that pipe!

looks good alex. i could do with one of those! when i corner hard to the left and brake the column just touches the exhaust. it makes a very alarming noise as the steering wheel acts like a loudspeaker!
better sort that...

I crapped myself first time it happened because of the noise and the way the steering suddenly goes dead.
