We had such a productive day. Don and I completed the installation of the front spindles and steering linkage including the steering box and column. After fitting the hub, spindle and rotor, we positioned one of the new chrome wire wheels. This inspired us all. What a great look. 
In the photo to the left, you will see the installation of the steering idler and all the connecting rods on the right side of the car.
The photo to the right shows the installation of the steering box and linkage on the left side of the car.

In order to align the steering mechanism properly, we mounted the original steering wheel. Moving the steering wheel to the center of its travel allowed us to locate the steering linkage in close proximity to its proper position. Now, only minor adjustments will be required for proper alignment.
Next week we will be installing the fuel delivery system, brake and clutch hydraulics and the exhaust system. Fitting these systems while the chassis is mounted on the rotisserie is much more efficient. When the aforementioned has been completed, the wheels will be mounted and the Healey will be removed from the rotisserie.
Are you excited ?
