I wanted to make sure it would not over heat or break down before I took it too far from home.
That was a good strategy. The other night after returning from a quick drive around the neighborhood I was backing up into the driveway and my steering column broke!!
Note to builders: Do not weld a tilt steering shaft and try to use it in place of a solid upper shaft. They sell them at tristatemotorsports.com for around 50 bucks. It could save your life.
While I wait for the new steering shaft it is a great time to work on some of those small details.
- Autometer sent me a oil pressure sender thhat I used to replace my stock sending unit. Oil pressure gauge reads accurately now.
- I am installing the oil temp sensor in plaace of the low oil sensor in the oil pan
- I put on the passenger side roll bar grommmets.
- I even put on those little green lamp rubbbers so the gauges will have that green glow. oo la la
- pulled out the old steering shaft and I amm ready for getting the shaft (sort-ta-speak)
