i need to extend my colum about 16"+ and then have the issue of a Alternator in the way. am i right in thinkin as long as there are no more than 2 joints it will be fine.

anyony know the best place to soure the bits to do this.

Thank you all

Have seen someone on here with about four or five joints in the column who isn't having any problems. Can't help with supplier though.

Put a joint in the middle that clears the alternator and support it against a chassis member.

steering UJ

For the Phoenix, I am using a MK1 Sierra column which has a splined type uj. I purchased the extension rod which is splined at both ends from Dax (DJ Sportscars)http://www.daxcars.co.uk/start.htm
The spline fits the Sierra uj and at the other end i fitted a second uj bought from Rally Design, http://www.raldes.co.uk/. I cut the splined rod in the middle, shortened to suit and welded a sleeve over the joint. I put in a couple of rollpins for good measure.

I hope I have attached a picture and that this is of help to you.

blimey..... Weld+spline+roll pins.. thats not going anywhere


how much was the rod if you don't mind me asking. Don't Dax get funny about parts if you don't have a DAX car... i remember someone saying...
