Steering wheel Spacer

[bradders]

I could do with a spacer for the Caterham steering wheel to move it a little further away from the switchgear.

The wheel is a Momo unit, with a 3 hole mount, and the boss is Lifeline one.

Have called Demon Tweeks, who say that they only stock 6 hole spacers, and that they are not cross compatible. They said they did not know of a 3 hole mount version, and maybe I will need to have one made.

Does anyone know of anywhere that sells an off the shelf solution?

Cheers, Bradders.

Mark,

Are you really out of spare length adjustment where the two halves of the steering column?

If so, I'd go for upgrading to the 7Tips Rapfix Quick Release and upper column. It's a far better system than the Lifeline one which pretty much inevitably picks up play after a while. The upper column that 7Tips use ends up being effectively about 25mm longer than normal, due to the length of the Rapfix boss.

You are aware that you can space the steering wheel away from the dash by loosening the clamp under the bonnet?
I would have thought that this would give you ample clearance.

We just turn one up out a piece of ally bar

Thanks for all the suggestions - had a quote for £70+VAT for getting one made, and could not find one ready made elsewhere.

Will be having a play under the bonnet this evening, so will see how much more travel is available, if any, and take it from there as to the best way to go.

The wheel is currently skin scrapingly close to the switchgear!

Big thanks again to all who offered help.

There was some play in the steering column, and lengthening it seems to have given me plenty of clearance.

Now have the issue of a crack in the oil cooler to sort out before I get the car to Emerald on Tuesday for its new mapping.

Cheers, Bradders.

I thought it would.
