Pinning a steering column
prawnabie - 24/10/14 at 02:33 PM

Hi Everyone,

I have had the 2 parts of my steering downlink extended by cutting them in half, sleeving them and welding them. I would like to pin each end of the sleeve to the inner shaft using a roll pin as a safety device - would this be acceptable for IVA?

Thanks
Shaun

I did exactly that and also welded the roll pins in afterwards. No problem for IVA.



Cheers

Yep, that's exactly what I did.

I also did the same, yet for my sanity, it was "belt and braces"

Mmmmm, you shouldn't weld roll pins. The heat messes up the structure.


A very apt comment by Prawnabie. "Will crack on tomorrow"
