Tilt steering

[midtravel]

I need to put a tilt sterring in my sand limo. Does anyone know if i can do this without changing my whole steering shaft. Is there anyone who makes a adapter that i can bolt on behind my steering wheel. thanks

[barneycar]

I don't now of any tilt wheel for sand cars. Or I have yet to see one not that it can't be done but you would have to change the whole thing. just mho

Show us a pic of your current set-up.

Why do you need tilt?

[Don29palms]

I have seen tilt steering set ups before but i dont know who makes them or how they work. Sorry

[sanddunesaddict]

I know of a car that has tilt steering.He just used a GM column

[barefoot bob]

they make a tillt colum that bolts on to the firewall bar but it never intrested me so i never bothered to ask who made it :wedgie:

but my post at minimum isnt a waste at least you know somebody makes one

[midtravel]

Ok thanks guys. I dont have my camera with me now so cant snap any shots of what i have. I hope to find something at the sand shows. Thanks again

Kartek sells a bronze bushing, tilt wheel set-up. I've used quite a few but they are notorius for becoming a little sloppy (they move up and down a little) post some pictures of what you have.

Yep, I want to see pictures too. I got ideas. :no_no:

First though, Can you explain to me the word SLOPPY?

I've got a CNC machine shop and I don't understand the word.

Just advertising again.

Oh yeah Monsterman,

Your " Dune pic of the month " is 'Effin Sick' bro.

I would like to have tilt. But if i could add a block under the mount just to drop it down that would be ok. Randog if you could make something for me that would be great. Who knows you might be able to sale allot of them

If you have two universals on that steering shaft, Then I think all you need to do is loosen the clamp and rotate it to the location you are desiring. (wheel and/or shaft angle may be an issue in this case).

If multiple drivers are the situation, there are some nice adjustable handle bolts available to make it quick and easy to tighten that sucker back up where you want it for each individual driver.

Without seeing the whole steering system, or knowing the full reason for tilt steering in your case, I'm still not sure what to suggest yet.

It sounds like you just want the wheel a bit lower.

I'm thinkin' you may be able to just rotate that clamp.

Just opened Sept/Oct SandSports mag and on page 31, there is something called Steer Right. It's an adjustable steering column by Poly Performance which has 6 easy-to-adjust positions. The spring-loaded, positive locking adjustment handle rotates up to 38 degrees for optimum steering wheel tilt. The steering column is available in 3 models (1.5 and 1.75 O.D. tube mount, or Standard for custom mounting. The adjustable steering column is laser cut from 1/8 inch steel and MIG and TIG welded for strength and durability. A standard 3/4 inch steering shaft size is utilized with a high-grade MDS-Filled nylon bushing for smooth steering wheel motion in any off-road application. They can be reached at (805) 783-2060 or visit www.polyperformance.com . Hope this helps.

Thank you. I will check it out

I just added a 6 position tilt to my sandcars.net car. So far so good. The guys at NV Offroad and John from RC trans helped a ton.

[barneycar]

I also seen acouple at the show and liked the look of the but I don't want one in my car got some lit on where to get them they look easy to build.

[camp host]

Everyone says the same thing, looks cool BUT...how`s it going to hold up. I`ll let you know, I havent`t been to the dunes yet with mine. I had a problem with the steering shaft angle and the U joints binding, We will see.
