Steering column modification

There is a bracket welded to the bottom of the MX-5 steering column that is not required for the Westfield and needs to be removed. Although the steering column is only needed much later in the build, it is a job that has to be done sometime.


I initially started to remove using a hacksaw. After a coupe of cuts which removed the main part of the bracket, I decided removing using a hacksaw was going to be hard work. Part of the problem was it was very awkward to fix in a position I could cut. I borrowed an angle grinder and removed with a lot less effort.


I finished it off with a file to get a nice smooth finish.
