Steering Lock Stop

[Murray Cowley]

How are you guys sorting out your steering lock stop? Any pics would help. At the moment I have the tyres rubbing hard up against the bodywork on full lock. Thanks.

Hi Murray

I made some split spacers to go inside each end of the rack on Maxiboys car. I think I waisted the centre section of the spacer and fitted a hoseclip round it. Let me know if you need more info.

I always use a split collar inside the rack ends...you can find them in metric and inch sizes, and they can be bored to suit your rack shaft diameter..usually I use aluminum as it is a bit softer and easily sized. Check any industrial supply and you will find them.
Cheers

Hi Murray,

FWIW you can buy lock stops for an escort rack here, about 3/4 down the page. They look similar to those described by Brian.

Brian, Phil and Julian, many thanks for your input, the answer is totally different than what I had in mind, I envisioned a physical stop on the moving parts of the hub carrier or something, see daft as a brush!! epper:
This makes much more sense!!
Thanks
