STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY
7
Safety Note: A minimum of 10mm of GP1237 should be screwed into GP1354. GP1231
should be tightened up to GP1354 to lock GP1237 in place.
Smooth Steering: Once complete the steering should turn freely with no free play in it.
Tightening or loosening the bolts on the support blocks and at the bottom can alter the
resistance. A small drop of oil or lubricant between the column and support blocks can
help.
Steering Column: Loosely assemble
the steering column & support
blocks (GP1158) to the chassis.
Then connect the bottom section
to the chassis using GP1237, 2 x
GP1236, GP1231 and GP1230.
GP1237 should be done up until it
stops the steering from turning and
then backed off just enough to allow
free movement. GP1231 should then
be tightened up to the bottom of the
column to lock the bolt in place.
Steering Alignment: Once the wheels are
fitted make sure that when the steering
is centered both wheels are parallel and
pointing straight ahead. Adjustment is done
by winding the steering arms (GP1157) in
or out of the rod ends (GP1269). However,
for safety ensure at least 10mm of the arms
are inside each rod end.
