Steering column surround

I've not got the leather trim yet to finish this area but I decided to make a start by cutting the aluminium column surround in preparation. This part comes pre-formed from GD but you have to cut the clearance holes for the column stalks and ignition barrel. Not too difficult, just take your time measuring using the stainless face plate and column controls as a reference points and cut out the bits you don't need.



Eventually, the aluminium part you can see will be wrapped in leather.





UPDATE: Looking at a few pictures others have posted, there looks to be another section I have to remove to provide clearance for the bottom part of the steering lock mechanism, not got time to do any more today but I'll post some more at a later date.
