Chasing My Tail..
Because the steering column has been moved up the Bulkead it pushed the Steering Wheel nearer to the seat, such that my slim frame was a bit cramped.

TO DO.
Robust Front bump stops???? Figure out why the steering doesn't self-centre. more Caster Angle may be required...

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4
Pete, could be the camera angle, but there seems to be a fair bit of negative camber on the offside wheel, more than is on the nearside. If that's the case, it would make the car pull to the left, iirc...

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4
Aaaah now I know at last where the heck a I-phone is for...
Is it running already on 1-2-Spark or is it also on the todo list....
p.s. self centering has to do with Caster not with Camber.. It doesn't like right anyway, Ken has a point there, but you noticed it already...
Think about a shop trolley wheel when giving Caster to it/lining it up.... then it can't go wrong....
Otherwise looking superb
