Found the last wasp nest in the column. The only opening is through the windows for the stalks. Adding foam around stalks to fill the gap.
Upper column is retained only by the ujoint. Black plate is ½ thick and bored all the way through (no register) to accept a sealed bearing that is a snug fit to the shaft. Welded .125” plate to the boss and drilled to accept standard Grant wheel pattern. Welded ¼-20 nuts to the front.
Wheel shown is for the reverse trike. Bought smaller 10” kart wheel for this.
Pic of fuse panel will be reduced to fit inside cover panel then covered with packing tape to waterproof.

Only have EGI and ENGINE fuses left to wire, aft relay bank, inertia sw, evap can sol, TR module, and VAF wiring. All forward wiring, heater, wiper, horn, turn, head, park, hazard, reverse, interior, stop, beacon/strobe, and instrument lights are finished as well as the water temp and oil pressure gauges added and wired.
Added a manifold to the upper radiator hose to fit the water temp sensor which also requires a ground wire. I had a spare BPT to NPT adapter from Mcmaster for the oil pressure sensor but the water temp sensor was too big to fit through it and I didn’t want to retap the head for NPT.
CIGAR circuit wired for two accessory outlets and added a pig tail with an insulated spade terminal when crimping the fuse block terminal just in case I want to add a radio and need the memory circuit.
Speedo is a prestolite so I found the schematics for that online and the bulb is an instrument light from a 70s GM car.
The rheostat for dimming the instruments was bad so I installed one for a bus. Just need to switch from spade to eye terminals. Otherwise identical.
Added a kick down switch to the intake actuated by the throttle cable quadrant on the throttle body instead of the throttle pedal.
Added a grounding stud to frame near the aft relays consisting of a ¼-20x1” all thread flange head bolt through a flange with the paint removed for good conductivity but greased for corrosion, with a second nut to secure the eyelets to the stud.
Hung doors on stainless track rollers I made. Trike used tubing along bottom of door to secure it, with a plastic push pin as a rub point on the door, but they are ugly, easily bent, and not very adjustable. I’ve made new guides from angle iron that are less noticeable and easier to adjust.
Need to plumb valve cover vent into my fabbed, mandrel bent intake pipe but it is almost directly on top of it. May need to make a sheet metal box kick out on the pipe to cover the port and use a grommet.
I like the little kart steering wheel; fits the character of it.
