Ok what size do you want?

ChrisRidge - 12/7/12 at 08:19 PM

Middle size!?

Steering wheel is 12" Are you designing from scratch?

You mean something like this?

Is this something to send off to a fabricator?

I need to know what kind of linkage to the gearbox do you have, is there anything that the pivot can mount to?

Some pics of the area would help

I just started a CAD job a few days ago so I need some practice!

Here's mine, with some basic dimension attached to give you an idea of its size. It pivots on a pair of M5 rod ends, which are bolted to a machined sleeve on the end of the Sierra column.

I could easily change the dimensions on the paddle to suit the size you would want and send you a DXF which you could get Andyw7de on here to water jet cut for you.

there you go one already made I was wondering though, if it is cable operated, how many turns can the steering wheel still do?

The paddle shift is fastened to the steering column

Hi
We used much the same as above with rod operation.
Works fine & positive shift.
See our picts archive.
good luck

Already drawn up! Did you have this machined yourself? Where did you source the mount for cable?

Thanks, Chris

Sorry scrub that, just read it again!

More than happy to pay for the file.

Thanks, Chris

Which would mean the cable coils around the steering column?

Take a look at the drawing; the rod ends fasten to the steering column outer sleeve so the paddle shift, cable or mechanical linkage are stationary

Oh right, I was not aware steering columns had outer sleeves
