Approaching Suicide Steering Last part

Well-Known Member
Hi
Last part of the steering column was to make a 'gate' for the shifter. I have seen many a rod off across a show field or exhibition hall, even on the road because somone 'accidentally ' knocked the shifter in to gear. Some run without inhibitor switches and boys that a real silly thing to do.

OK. Usual lots of thinking and playing around with mock ups. before you all point it out I am only running PRND. With the power and torque I have 2 and 1 are really not needed so I left them out. Anyway there is always Kickdown.

The pics as always say everything so here they are.
Thanks to everyone who has commented so far

Guys
Thanks to the great work the investment people have done my plan to retire at 50 went up in smoke so I hold down a full time job. The thing is I am not building to a deadline so if it takes 25 hours to make something the only down side is the extra bottles of Merlot it will cost for the sit back and look time.
