Ediths steering wheel used to grind on the shroud.

Post-bulkhead / chassis swap, everything all built up nicely, but the wheel still grinds on the shroud. How do you adjust this?

Shroud on correctly, dash all square and neat (squarer than my Td5), everyting built up as per parts drawing and haynes.

Is it possible to adjust the inner steering column bit upwards within the outer steering column?

Or is there a "put a big washer in there between the wheel and shroud" method?

Thanks. It's very annoying.
 
Mine used to do that it sounded like there was an Ent stuck in there. Any how I just slackened the shroudy bit off prized it clear with a screwdriver an nipped it all back up again. Dont think theres any adjustment on the column.
 
I've adjusted it every which way, and can't see how to trim it as it grinds along the seam between the upper and lower bits - maybe a sharp blade and sand it down?

Will hunt about for some sort of spacer - it'll only need couple of mm, so I guess a big washer.

Thanks - shame the column aint adjustable.. Guess thats a more modern invenshun.
