I took my sling off yesterday. To celebrate my new found freedom, I decided to finish the steering column I started two months ago. I centred the rack, set up string lines and centred the steering wheel etc. I did a couple of runs up and down the drive way to check it was centred and then I got to welding the 'boss' to the column to make it permanent.

A quick spray of primer to prevent the mild steel from rusting, and when that was dry I gave it a coat of satin black.

That was about the limits of my endurance. After that little session, the shoulder was aching pretty badly, so I called it a day. At least I got to cross something off the list.

Today I pulled up very sore and just had an easy day. I did manage to figure out why my shift lights were not working on the Racepak dash. I pulled the configuration of the dash and discovered the dash was looking for a signal from the "engine RPM x200" channel. I am using the data stream from the Haltech ECU for RPM input. All I simply had to do was find this channel "EFI RPM x750" and tell the dash to read this signal for the shift lights. Works a treat now. For the time being I have the shift lights set at 300rpm steps to redline at 6500rpm. After the next trip to the track I'll figure out exactly what step interval works best for me.
