Sierra hex shaft
Hi guys,
MERRY XMAS!!
I'm just sorting out my steering column and could do with the main shay being a bit longer...
Not sure if this is the standard length for a sierra column, otherwise is there anywhere I can get a longer one?
Thanks
Andy

Sierra prod only had one length and never heard of a longer one.
Ps... that's a triangle, not a hexagon.

Can you extend the lower section between the triangular shaft and the rack? There are couplings available to join it to a splined shaft and splined
shafts in different lengths

Yeh I can do the lower section, would have been better to do the upper....
Anyone know the standard length of the triangle section (not hex, must have had too much xmas juice!)

Andy, what have you done with the old steering shaft ?
as I may change mine this winter, as I do really need it to have a sliding joint (if there is such a thing)
as to get the rack out, or steering column is a BIG job,

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

Hi Steve, I managed to break the old column (don't ask) which is why I'm now using the sierra one. I still have the hex bit, but need it
longer

That's only half a hex
How about cutting it, sleeving with a steel tube with each end shaped into a triangle (or hex as you call it ) and welded in between the two
triangle lengths to add an inch or so?

Not allowed any welding for Iva... think I'm just going to extend the lower section and leave the top as it is..
