Recomend me a column please - Ideally in the length of 500mm , bigger is ok aslong as it can be shortened.



Ive got a sierra one , and theres too much to cut out of it.



Thanks

I don't believe locost does not have a solution to this, it has answers for everything.


Come on gents share the knowledge.


Cheers.

Ivan just dropped me a U2U to say that he's offering free beer to anyone who can help him out on this one!

Heedscratchin.....



Starter for 10 - 2 x Martins steak pies sent boxed in the post for the Locoster who puts me onto a column, as near as damn it to 510-540mm


Martins pies are the dogs knob, Steak,Mince Scotch (Scootz) and Chicken. I prefer steak or Scotch

I have a mondeo steering wheel with part of the colum but id need a picture of what your after so I know if its any use to you.

Thanks Sam



I need a column length spline to spline between 510mm & 550mm max , as per the picture point "A" measurement. Any advice re a column would be greatly appreciated, as near as damn it will do .


A slightly longer column can be done, if I am able to cut it down.


In the picture the int shaft is a sierra one, its too long, so my intention is to use a longer column, the one in the pic is a the Fiat original @ 400mm


The UJ joints will get a steeper angle to deal with, if they dont then my passenger will be working the clutch for me.

But us locoster's jjust find anything that looks about right, and cut and shut it,

why cant you do the same, on what ever steering column you have already?

I am using a Vauxhall Cavalier column which is around 550mm. Try something from a corsa/nova they might be shorter.
I can measure it properly tomorrow if you wish, drop me a u2u if you do.

Thanks for your help Spider, if the cavalier one is around 550mm thats all Im after, as compared to the sierra one I have 700mm & Fiat one at 390mm...


A simpler job.




Cannot wait to cut & shut it, to become a real Locoster....
