[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 49339, member: 59"] The vertical aluminium extension FF25/1 which screws into the steering head nut FF23 in place of the normal low C FF25 has a tapped hole concentric with the damper rod. A hollow bolt FF81 passes through the headcowl and screws into FF25/1 locating the headcowl. The D damper knob has a leaf spring which engages on the flats of the hollow bolt to serve as the damper detent. A worthwhile improvement is to replace FF81 with a much larger headed bolt so that a sprung ball can be fitted to use the C knob. This bolt locates the dashboard, the weight of the cowl being carried on the ally column. The cowl is then swung forward and held in place by the ends of the SL3 bracket which is bolted under the lower link. The vertical and centralising alignment of the cowl is determined by the positioning of the holes in the ears of cowl, or in my case by the links between them and the SL3. [/QUOTE]
