Hi Guys,

Just trying to get my ideal seating position for track work, any ideas which model of these will fit a caterham with the usual momo steering wheel?

Cheers

Dave

Assume you have adjusted the upper column as far up as it will go?

Wrt spacers . . . a chap on the WSCC boredroom supplies nicely machined spacers that should fit. Maybe worth having a poke about there to see if you can find information and his details.

Immediately on the other side of the bulk head, if you look at the steering column, you'll see a flat section incorporated into the column. This is about 50mm long (from memory). If you can see a lot of the flat section beyond the clamp (i.e. on the engine side of the column), you have no room left to slide the upper column towards you.

If you want to play around, simply undo the large nut on the slide clamp, and the allen head grub screw and pull the steering wheel towards you. Then tighten the grub screw, and finally the securing lock nut.
