7.3. STEERING COLUMN

There are two types of steering columns. A standard one and a version with a quick release for the steering wheel. The advantage of a quick release it that it’s easier to get in the car and it’s a perfect anti-theft protection.

In the dashboard a hole with a diameter of 40mm is drilled for the steering column. Would you like to fit a quick release column then you need to make the hole a bit bigger in order to get the column in. The hole needs to have a diameter of 49mm (or 50mm).

- Make sure the hole in the dashboard has the correct diameter.

- Fix the lower part of the steering column on to the steering rack with the original clamp and a M7x55 bolt, leave the bolt loose for now.

- Put the top part of the column through the dashboard from the outside.

- Connect the swivel joint to both bits of the column but leave the bolts loose for now.

- Turn the steering column a couple of times in order to make sure its centered and doesn’t clash with any polyester. When you’ve made sure the column sits good you can fix the bolt of the swivel joint and the clamp on the steering rack.

- Drill the 4 holes (Ø5.5 mm) so you can fix the column to the dashboard. Please make sure that the Burton logo on the column sits nice and straight.

- Drill the 2 holes (Ø 8.5 mm) in the bulkhead where the bracket for the columns will sit. The column will be fixed on to bracket with the 36mm exhaust clamp.

- Fix the aluminum adaptor plate to the column of the quick release. Please take notice that the quick release is mounted with American threaded bolts (5/16NF x 3/4) so don’t lose them!

For the standard steering column with you can use M6x16 bolts from the bolts set to fix the adaptor plate.

- Fix the steering wheel to the adaptor plate but make sure it doesn’t affect you view on the instruments on your dashboard. Please make sure you use the bolts and nuts supplied with the steering wheel. The bolts are often too long and it’s best if you’d shortened them.

With the upholstery set for the car an extra bit of skai leather is supplied which can be used as a steer insert. This will cover the bolts nicely.
