Steering column weight savings?
Is there anything to be had in the steering column? It has that big shroud over it, wonder if anyone has ever cut into it? Its quite weighty!

I don`t think mine (Manual rack) has the shroud.
Lemme take a look tommorow, if I`m right I`ll take some pics tommorow and upload for you!

Yeah I think you are right, a custom made alloy one is probably the way to go...
