Steering Column Extension
Hi the book says to use thick walled tube to extended the lower sierra steering link. I was just wondering if anyone had any sugestions for the diameter and guage tube they used. Is 3mm sufficient?
Cheers |

Thanks Andy, I meant to measure the lower link earlier and find its diameter but the sun went down. If I ever build anything again I'll wait till I have a garage, will try not to admit that to the wife.
3mm wall is what I was guessing at. Thanks |

I used 19mm 1.6mm wall - still fine 10k later. There is very little load on the column, only as strong as the tyre grip on the road.

Personally i would say that 19mm x 1.6mm was a bit on the trust in god side of things especially when the item you are extending is around the 16mm dia solid
