Chip. yes your Vin number should be under the seat riveted to the tunnel. I have a custom chassis also . Take all the info that came with your LR to i.e. car manaul etc . The DMV officer here in NC wanted all the info . It may make the registration process easier.
congrats !

Roy-
Good morning.Thanks…Yes you are correct on all points..The Banjo wheel is an inch or two closer to your chest /stomach. I gotta say I do love the feel of the wheel while driving…I have a 38 inch waist and this works ok for me …I can barely turn side ways to get out but as long as I slide in/out of the seat I am ok -otherw… -

Ed and Paul-I did not use the Boss kit hub assemble.

Larry and Paul ..Thx so much ..The wheel is 15 1/2 inches….the adapter for it really didnt look good or do the job so I used the existing hub that came with the LR. I do drive her like the old lady that she is.Maybe its my imagination but she seems to drive more like the real MG TD that I remember from so many years ago. LOve it !!

Thx Paul.
As it turned out I didn’t use the adapter. Now I am waiitng for the horn button (back ordered)to arrive. I jury-rigged the old button for now.I Love the period looks of the Flat4 Banjo steering wheel. Now my next little project isto replace the ugly radio with a TD glove box and door.

The Nice thing I have found about My London Roadster Olive is that it was factory built …and all things being equal there weren’t any short cuts in the assmble that I can see.And the basic assemble is standard from car to car. Mine has a fctory built chassis which I am happy with .jebarry2012-08-09 21:35:25
