Twin Cam Steering column
« on: Sunday,July 26, 2020, 04:52:21 AM »
I have another little problem to tackle.  The steering column moves in and out or telescopes about a half an inch give or take.  The shop that mated the body engine and chassis also installed the column.  Is there any quick fix, something they overlooked, that I can tighten up?

the column is "sleeved" and there is a clamp down by your feet above the foot pedals to tighten.
I have used this "feature" to take advantage of the "adjustment" by pulling the steering wheel out as far as possible to give my 6' 6" body frame the leg room to better fit comfortably.

The clamp was it.  Adjusted and there is no play.  Thank you very much.
