Anybody have a collapsable steering column?
I want to replace my straight shaft steering column in my race Spridget. Does anybody have one they would sell? I don't trust my welding abilities to put the u-joints in there. Thanks

I don't have one to sell but I made one without welding. On 1970s and some 1980s Volkswagen Rabbits and Golfs, there is a part of the steering shaft that has a universal joint at each end. I got one...

Most steering u joints, OEM, or aftermarket are designed to fail under compression. Darryl if you remember SCCA try to tell us at one time we could not make the the zig zag column many of us SCCA...

I just, this month, married a late Spridget collapsible column into my Bugeye race car and my sons Bugeye race car. No welding needed. Just PM your number and I'll explain what I did.

Does it have the 2 u-joints near the steering rack? Here's a picture of what I'm looking for but doesn't have to be that nice. Sorry if I cause confusion but this is what I call a collapsible steering...

Hey Greg B: What does yours look like? If it appears functional I'll take it - I do have a set of slightly modded through-tunnel exhaust headers on my car but it'd be nice to have a wee bit more room....

Sorry, mine wouldn't help you any. It is a US export "safety collapsible" steering column. No U joints. Gregg

So here's what I'm thinking. The steering column is 47" long and .875 diameter. I though about getting 2 of the bore to spline u-joints and get a splined on both ends shaft at a length that goes from...

Darryl: Come on down where I'm pitted and take a look at my setup. I used a 2nd Gen RX7 setup. adapted the very nice u-joints into the Spridget ends, both and have been using it for 17 years. Uses 3/4...
