Here are the control column mounts bolted in place after the lightening cutouts have been made. The prefabricated control column weldment is bolted in place. I had a few issues with the control column, some of the predrilled holes didn’t line up quite right.

I had a few issues with the control column, some of the predrilled holes didn’t line up quite right. I called Vans, they assured me that there’s enough play in the column mount bearings that I won’t have problems when permanently installing the column.
