Merci Cédric, mais ces photos "datent" un peu depuis 3 ans tout est rentré dans l'ordre; J'ai fait table rase du passé pour repartir sur de bonne base et surtout depuis cet épisode malencontreux j'ai supprimé cette satané rondelle sous le couvercle du KN.  :verymad:
C'est Peter qui est à l'origine de ton 392?

On holidays this week, I'm doing a seat test and steering wheel.

If the seats are very comfortable, the steering wheel (13.7 inch) is too small and hides the top of the tachometer.  :crying:
I will have to choose a steering wheel in 15.

And long work of adjusting the driver's door with the front and rear fenders.

NorthCuda -- Nice work you're doing!   Regarding the small diameter steering wheel, I have one on my car that is 11.5" diameter, about 5" deep dish... and I love it as it helps quicken the steering response ... especially when manuvering through pylon slalom cones.  My steering wheel also covers up some of the dash (tachometer about 50%), but you can get used to it and make the sound of the rpms 2nd nature to you.  I wouldn't go any smaller in diameter than 14".    Another option you eventually do is to get a tilt column.

Thank you MOPAR MITCH for your wise advice.  :bigthumb:
