In a front end impact you don’t want that straight shaft coming into the passenger compartment. <br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Mar 22, 2023, at 14:34, Steven Belfer via Fot <fot@autox.team.net> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">Hi Bryan,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I race a TR3 with a steering box and the non-adjustable steering shaft that went all the way from the wheel, straight to the worm gear.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I cut the steering shaft in the vicinity of the oil filter and welded a splined shaft end. Then, a double U-joint connecting to the top half of the shaft which attaches to the steering hub. To remove the steering wheel you must disconnect the U-joint and then pull the wheel and shaft out towards the driver’s seat. There are a couple of other components as well that locate the shaft and keep it from moving in or out. It was a big deal and I had help welding onto the stock (hollow) steering shaft.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">~Steve Belfer<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 22, 2023, at 9:14 AM, Bryan Brazelton via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" class="">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Good morning Group, has anyone come up with a good Quick release hub for the steering wheel on the TR 2-3 "s ?<div class=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" class=""> My problem is , if I weld the hub to the end of the shaft then I can no longer remove the shaft for repairs on the Steering gear.
