Installing the Miata steering in the Exocet chassis
Route the steering shaft through the hole in the front bulkhead towards the steering rack.
If you find that the steering shaft is too short and will not extend all the way to the steering rack, the steering shaft can be telescoped out. Be careful not to extend it too far. Sometimes it is as easy as using your hands, other times have required vise grips and a hammer.
Install the Miata steering column by inserting the steering shaft into the steering rack connection and bolting it using the M8 bolt from the donor. The drivers end of the steering shaft should be bolted to the lower holes of your steering column drop plate. Use M8 nuts/bolts/washers from the donor or source your own. This is also the time to add the dash pod/cowl mount if you plan to use the Exomotive-supplied fiberglass dash pod.
In preparation for dash pod installation, you can elect to add some of the edge trim included in the kit to the lower arc of the dash pod bracket, tighten down the bolts, and zip tie around the steering column from slot to slot. This will help stabilize the gauges when you bolt them to the bracket using the supplied hardware.
