Steering column support
Hi,
I have just had to put a UJ in my steering column to overcome a clearence problem caused by the robin hood manifold the proble i now have is the
column now needs supporting otherwise it falls into either the chassie or engine
i have a chassie rail running next to the column so was thinking of putting it through a rose joint which would be attached to the chassie. is this
ok or does anyone have an easier suggestion?
Cheers
Paul

that is the method I am using, the only trouble I'm finding is getting a rosejoint with a 15mm bore as the metric ones go from 14mm - 16mm!

That looks like what im trying to achive. couple of questions:
1. How have you fixed it to the chassie?
2. where do you get the bearings from?

A1 the bracket Cups arround the chassis rail and bolted all the way through ( stop it moving ) the bolts you can see popping though the side
pannel
A2 the bearing and beaing housing were from marc at mnr. used for their bottom front wisbone arm.
if you want a better photo let me know

I had the same problem and made my own split bearings as I had to pick up on sections of the shaft with either a joint or splines on.
