Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

somethings up just went to change my inner steering column shaft and found the replacement is 10" longer but it looks about right from what I can see in the manual and the net, which leaves me wondering what's wrong? does anyone know how long the inner and the outer steering column shafts should be on a +2 as I suspect I've got some sort of triumph mish mash going on?

probably wrong part

Caterham would be longer

other cars use the same setup

send it back

Hopefully you do, Chunky lifted the original part from the Spitfire assembly ine.

I presume you've addressed the obvious and loosened the pinch bolt to bring the top and bottom together but for a 'safe' collapse zone? If so, then wrong part somewhere.
