classic1952 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I have read other threads about this but since I did not build my car please bear with me. I need to rotate the steering column in relation to the rack to suit my 3 bolt Sparco steering wheel. I know to undo the clamp on the UJ furthest from the rack, but do I need to withdraw the column slightly to rotate it, thereby needing to undo the top clamp behind the pedal box, or is there clearance from the spines allowing me to simply rotate the column once the UJ clamp is undone? I intend to rotate the column 180 degrees as the Sparco bolts are the opposite way up to the Momo. Lastly, any short cuts to achieving exactly 180 degrees rotation!!!???

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 May get away without undoing sliding joint. Mark UJ for 180 degrees. May need a couple of tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Can you not simply take the boss off and rotate that 180 deg? That seems the simplest option (works on standard boss) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classic1952 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 I have the quick release boss so unfortunately moving the boss is not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classic1952 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yes, sorry about that! I spent the afternoon grappling under the dash and my brain is a bit fried now. Cheers Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBKBABABTIM Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Just had to do this during my build and had to loosen the top clamp as the splined end of the shaft had to be withdrawn from the bottom uj in order to rotate it but was 5 minute job, although all the parts on mine are new.

classic1952 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Thanks, I will sort it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classic1952 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 A further note on Sparco. The wheels are drilled and countersunk to M5 whereas the Momo is M6. Rather than redrilling I am making an adaptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
