Looking tidy.

Love the (spoke)? wheels in the background, can you make a picture please My Dagonet dreams are playing up seeing them

Here's a set of stainless wires for an Avion. No longer made. Not possible to buy them.

Inspired by Joolz's steering rod end modification I have gone and made my own... I just hope it works as well!



I ordered the Rose Joint from a mob in India, price was cheap but shipping was excessive!

The original plan was to machine the ball off the end of the arm and cut a thread into the top, then use a reducer to bring it up from m8 (?) to m14... But instead I cut them off and welded a high tensile bolt on the end...

I realise that the profile may be to high and foul against the inside of the wheel but I can reduce the bolt and nut height if required or even lower the the rose joint on the shaft...

I remember some saying that Joolz's idea will inspire a a lot of bad imitations, so here is mine!

@Harley,
I too have welded "critical" components, but have as yet it hasn't been on the road.

There are spoked peugeot rims available on leboncoin that will fit the 2cv pcd

Pete,
but did those modifications involve welding any high strength bolts?

Arms milled to reduce the rear boss by 8mm - note that the root of the steering arm itself is has not been machined, paint wasn't even damaged as the arm was held on the key during machining. Took maybe 5 minutes per side. There is now over than 12mm thread engagement - 20% more than the original 10mm.

@Ken
No bolts... But these parts...
Rack Internals, but not the rack.

Steering Arm

Given that the bolt is now m14 where as the narrowest point on the original arm is 7mm or less AND that I laid enough weld to prevent the continental shift of Africa, I should hopefullyprobablypossiblymaybe be in the clear...

Nice link Ken, keep them coming.
