Pinning a steering column

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

Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

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


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