Manual rack help
#21
I have the spohn unit, and it seem's to have a odd feeling to it... While turning, it is right, then loose, then tight and loose.. I think it has to do w/ the length of the shaft, but i dunno.. i'll lop it off and see how it goes...
Brian, is your shaft avail separately?

I finally got a friend over to help me and we tightened the **** out of the bolt at the column and now its 100x better and its alot easier to turn as well. I'm going to tighten up every bolt on the linkage next.

I finally got around to installing mine. There was a small amount of slack in the fit and it was allowing only a small amount of twist when shaking the wheel back and forth. There's not enough room to shim it so that is not an option. What I did was when drilling the new shaft for the bolt is intentionally drilled at a slight angle so that the bolt contacted the opposing sides on the slot in the column. This did a good job of tightening up the slack.

I'm sure it could be welded but I was trying to avoid that so it wouldn't be a pain to remove in the future. Especially seeing as it would need to come off to drop the motor/kmember out I can see it needing to be removed/reinstalled a few times.
