Hi Guys,

I want to make an extension to a steering shaft using the following two parts.

https://www.extremebajakarts.co.uk/collections/steering-parts/products/latest-rage-5-8-inch-x-36-spline-coupler

https://www.extremebajakarts.co.uk/collections/steering-parts/products/6-inch-long-by-5-8ths-inch-x-36-splined-steel-stub-shaft

What method would you guys use to connect them as well as the welding?

Piece of steel tube 5/8" id over the join?

Hi,

Nopmal that's what I do but its a small adaptor to go on the end of the shaft.

Hi,

I don't think it would fit. The adaptor loos a lot bigger than 5/8"???

Yeah, I have used roll pins on all of them so far.

When I built my Dax Rush the Sierra Steering column needed extending.

Dax would not sell the Parts. I believe a customer welded their own with a very serious out come.

They would only weld them to my own steering and then serial numbered it.

Be very careful.

Hi ya,

All the steering on Haynes has to be welded at some point and all the parts available.

On the two shafts I have made so far have been connected with tube with shaft inside, puddle welded in lots of places, then a roll pin in each end.

Its not a Ford one and I need to extend the shaft by say 100mm. So have a splined socket and a splined shaft requiring connecting together.
