Does anyone have any experience with this adjustable steering column??? I am considering using it on the build... Let me know your thoughts or experience with it if anyone has seen one..

I have one very similar on my SR1. Works good.

 

[trunknuts]

I got the idea from Ben. And yes it works great. There's a tiny bit of play in it, but otherwise works great.

I've got one that you can have if you want it, I just took it out of mine.

Like most of the adjustable columns there is some play in them, I have the kartek version of that and have had them in the past, they are a little sloppy especially with a removable wheel , but once driving you really don't notice it....

Were you not a fan of it Brad??

I didn't really like the play in it, and I am building the car for me. I set the steering wheel where i wanted it, no need to adjust anymore, or add more weight to the car.

Did some mocking up with the hood earlier just for the heck of it..

 

[XplaneSR1]

JD2 model 32 bender and dies, Notchmaster notcher, and plasma cutter are ordered and shipped out on their way to our shop... Fabrication should continue in a week or so.

Finally made some more progress on the build today.

Welded 2" Strap to the side of the frame rails yesterday to try and strengthen this tin can up a little bit.
Hopefully some parts from Weller will come in today and we can get the engine mounted in and start on the cage and mounting the seats this weekend.

Props to Weller on the big brake setup! It fits great and looks awesome!!

We had to cut out the square tubing we welded in for the Weller engine mounts and modify the mounts for the 09 R1. After some changes we finally got the square tubing put back in where it needed to be and the engine is mounted in..

The 60 tooth sprocket didn't hang down as far as I was expecting... A gaurd plate with a channel in it will protect it!

 

[XplaneSR1]

Got a good start on the bottom of the cage today. Had a little bit of a learning curve with the BendTech Pro software, but I think I have it figured out.

Finished up the bottom of the cage tonight and got the seats mocked up. It's starting to feel like a UTV again!
