Steering extension tube?
Hey guys
What tube have people used to extend the steering column? Ive searched previous posts and found answers from 16mm - 1.6mm wall To 25mm - 3mm wall!?!? Im happier going heavier to be fair, but will the 25mm tube leave plenty of clearance between the uprights? Im building a book spec car btw Cheers Will |

25 mm fits, the clearance is minimal (3-5 mm).

Put the lower column in place in the steering rack and measure approx 50mm past the upright. This will give u more than enough to fit into the extension tube and will give u the maximum clearance of the upright.
A metre is more than enough tubing. |

I'm really struggling with this. Book spec car - but the steering column and the Pinto engine mount both want to occupy the same space at the same time... There is another thread about this - but no solution that I could see - other than reroute the steering or modify the engine mounts - neither of which are mentioned in the Book..??

Steve " serieslandy " covered this and had to remake the engine mount. Its all in his thread.
