Title: Steering mod
Post by: atk1 on July 29, 2009, 09:59:32 AM

Hey again, the ball is rolling with my Pick Up. Im really wanting to modify the steering angle similar to a car. Ive seen the promo CF2 from Madsoundz uses a Toyota Estima dash with the column change and steering angle that Im after. Its abit of a drive to go check it out but I will as soon as I can. In the mean time any wise ideas? Cheers

I'm using a toyota vista steering column, toyota hiace steering box thing (is a 90 degrees angle thing) and remounted the CF steering rack, rolling it forward a little

it's not the bevel box that has opposite direction, is same direction so don't have to steer backwards, it works well too

not sure to be honest, is just one i found in the yard that was the right length, is same as toyota windum (tilt and telescopic)
can't use any of the bedford dash or brackets with it though, even had to change the pedal box to go around it
