steering rose joint
Ive had to put an extra steering link in my steering to get it around the engine, so as such i have had to put a rose joint bearing in the steering.
At the minute the steering shaft turns inside housing, so the bearing isnt acutally doing its job.
How can i fix the shaft to the bearing so the actual bearing are working and the shaft isnt just turning inside of it.
(sorry if the description is poor)
Thanks
Mikkel

smaller rose joint? 
what size is the shaft? could be most likely metric, but don't forget imperial.
how much free play is there?
the other way is maybe a split nylon bush which clamps round the shaft?

why didn't you just use a normal steering UJ and one of these bearings? The joints can be removed from many cars like fords in the scrappy

the shaft is 20mm,
The rose joint is 20mm
there is no play as such, it fits in snuggly, the bearing just doesnt quite turn, it is very close to. It just needs a little bit more to make it turn

it'll be fine. as long as it doesn't move side to side. perhaps a little PU adhesive (sika flex) from fixing your ali panels, to make it
turn the bearing, but making sure its all greased up so theres no metal on metal wear it'll be good

Get a nylon adapter made up, top hat shape, with a friction fit onto both bearing and shaft (0.03 - 0.1mm should be good amount, although ask whoever
is making it up).
You may need a larger bearing.

Put a couple of centre dabs in the shaft under the bearing to tighten the fit.

oh I see, then just use a center punch and make some marks on the shaft so they grab the bearing when you slide it over

I,m with mr whippy, in the ideal world you would knurl it to raise the surface, get a cold chisel and wack a few raised lines into it.

Dot punching was a common practice once to reclaim worn hubs , should work with a steering column . You could use Loctite bearing fit ?
