Moving the steering wheel hole

Finally put the body on the chassis and moved it all back inside. me.jpg (82739 bytes)
I noticed that the hole for the steering wheel did not align properly with the steering rack mounted on the new chassis. hole1.jpg (16635 bytes)
Rather philosophically I gave a Gaelic shrug and moved the hole. hole2.jpg (12628 bytes)
I cut a circular template in card which I taped to the floor. I then removed the unwanted metal and welded in a plate to complete the new circle.

I must get a new rubber gaiter as this one is worn.

On the bulkhead is a plastic stick-on label. I don't know if it is important. Can I remove it or do I have to paint round it? label.jpg (20811 bytes)
