Look what i have bought from Mr Jarman.
Did you also make up a bracket that hold the pump unit ?. I have cut away some of the pedal box so if fit up tighter.
I've still to drill a hole in the pedal box for the motor mount.
I was thinkin of much the same thing shown there, only I couldnt be arsed to pull it all out again until I'd sussed the prob I already had.
Mind you it prob doesn't help with no mount to support the motors weight.
I see that setup mounts the other side, but when I offered mine up that way it ended up with the motor in the loom area which didnt seem practical to me?
Atleast not with a road/ daily use car.

So others know why ....... when they make their own
To get mine to fit I went about the room issue a diffo way, as it mounts the motor on other hand
Ultimately I guess even more room could be gained, but I'm not going to chance cutting the motors lug off
Atleast not just yet
As you can see below
To get the unit to fit up tight without mods to the pedal box I shaved one of the motors alloy lugs away.
Saying that I did infact cut the clutch pedal stop lug off, which now I realise I didn't need to do lol.
As you've shown, the lower mount is a good fix, but it's still a job i've yet to do.

At last this old chestnut can finally be set to rest 
Now the cars rebuilt and on the rd again I had chance to get this steering setup looked at again
After I pulled the lower column and housing apart a few times I spotted it
I could see the lower column inner shaft wasnt spinning free in the upper bush I had made up.
After a little work with a wire wheel I had the shaft spinning just fine
All back together and after a 20mile drive today it seems just fine.
Nice and free without notchyness. Very pleased
The end
