Sierra Top Column Bush
I want to remove all the alloy crap at the top of my steering column and just leave a plain tube with a single new stalk for the indicators.
However, the alloy bit holds the top bearing for the inner column and I'm damned if I can work out a decent way to put a bearing back into the
top so the column doesn't wobble.
So 2 questions...
Anyone done it before...?
How did you do it...?
I don't want to reinvent the wheel for the sake of picking someones brains if possible !
Also, if I pull hard on the column the bottom bearing pulls out of its tube (Tiger Cat E1). How can I stop that..? Jubilee clip below the
mounting..?
Cheers
Pete

That looks like you have turned down the top alloy steering lock assembly..? IS that the case..?
I was looking to replace it entirely - not sure whether I could use a Delrin rod or somthing similar to make a bearing to fit.

Can you get a large spherical joint(rose joint) to replace the complete bearing. That would allow you to secure the top of the column properly. HTH
"just like that !"

Thought about a bearing, but the size of the tubes involved (19/20mm bore, 36mm outer) means there are very few bearings that meet those
requirements.
I was thinking the sort of forces a steering wheel gets, a long delrin or similar bearing may work better. Anyone able to turn something down like
that for beer tokens..?
Looks like I need to keep thinking...
