Steering shaft/column design input
Hey guys.
Trying to figure out my steering shaft and column setup. I think I have something I am happy with, but want some input.
Dont mind the bad doodle. Just the easiest way to get things across.
The shaft stops are these ones: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/STEERING-SHAFT-STOP,2045.html
I am wondering a couple things:
- the shaft stops enough to keep me from moving the wheel fore/aft? I dont think there is a lot of axial force in steering wheels.
-should I have shaft stops on the forward heim? Obviously will end the safety aspect of the collapsable column but does it need to be kept from moving
fore/aft there from the Ujoints?
Basically what this does is give me a simple, small, somewhat light steering column that can be adjusted fore/aft (by loosening the shaft stops) and a
little vertically (by adjusting the heims).
Cheers.
Cory

Should be Ok as you drew it.
If you have stops on the forward heim you will stop the collapsable bit.
