steering column help

[HandyAndy]

As both Dennis & TT have said,
the column does need to be extended, also the triangulated inner shaft can slide inside the outer casing at the steering wheel end, this is also part of the safety aspect to allow it to collapse ( there are cut outs in the inner shaft).

I bought a splined shaft from Rally design & a "group 4" coupling" that attaches to the steering rack,

be careful what size diameter tubing you use for the extension, ( it needs to be thick walled for strength ) but if the outer diameter is too large then it,ll rub against part code "U2",

I,m not with my car at the moment but I think I used 25mm outside diameter tube with a 3mm wall thickness.

I can double check the dimensions for you tomorrow if you wish?

cheers
