Hi,
Since the Steering Column is altered now, the Inner Shield Gap set need to be done. This Shield will be covering the Gearbox was important. Since the Hot air from Engine bay will be travelling by this way if we let any small holes..
Double check the alignment of the Steering box in the respective Bed.
Whether Steering top stem is not altered..Install the bearing type one which will be smoother than the one which you have now.

Hi, yes the gearbox shield setting is important as you mentioned after making the panel if its provided with proper damping(thermocoal) the holes/gaps can be blocked and regarding steering stem my mechanic informed me that it is of bearing type only
hks 2412, nice piece of work. some doubts regarding your car, your gearbox is a remote shift gear box? why did you go for new upper arm assembly and king pin assembly. wts the price of new upper arm and king pin?
Fabulous Job![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")

Hi, mine is manual shift gearbox and the reason why I changed to new upper upper bracket and kin pin kit because to get better life and performance from suspension bushes which in turn reduce the wear and number of times changing bushes(suspension work), the older upper arm had smaller spacing compared to newer one which as larger spacing which accommodate bigger metal bush which last long than the older one. Both sets cost you around Rs.6000+
Your gear lever seems to be placed backwards than normal ambassador isuzu gearboxes. that is called as remote shift mechanism by HM. Your gearbox is originally like this or you modified it??
See this pic of a normal amby isuzu GB
finalised your paint shade?? i guess your paint is going to be PU type??
btw wts that green cable like thing running from the gearbox??

Hi, its a gear lever extension/remote shifter, was manufactured by CAG equipments Coimbatore, it was installed to my car in 2002 and HM design is different as it have shifter clamped to floor and attached to gearbox
the green cables you mentioned are battery terminals one from starter motor and one attached to gearbox is grounding, the battery was kept inside the cabin to start the engine as the battery box/holder in engine bay was not installed

The base coat is applied and is ready for final coat but the weather is cooler here and its frequently raining so waiting for appropriate temperatures for final paint.

Hi HKS2412,
It looks very nice. Since you are spending more in the painting process, Why don't you tried the heater room.
