Irrelevant Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Does anyone have one of those clamps that holds the upper steering column to the long steering column rod? Dunno what they're called, but it's basically a square of metal with an upper steering column diameter hole drilled through the middle, the square is cut in half, and holes drilled through the bits so they can be bolted onto the upper column.

Mr Locust Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Used to be called a safety clamp or similar when used on Triumph Spitfire etc - allows the column to collapse a bit in a crash. Try one of the Spitfire breaker specialists like Spitfire graveyard here or rimmers or fitchetts or caterham?

Irrelevant Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 Cheers Mr Locust "safety clamp" eh? . .. so that's what it's called. Caterham do them but at c.£25 I thought it worth checking if someone had one knocking about. Is the Caterham one lifted from a Spitfire then? No longer after a 3.14 diff.

Chelspeed Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Caterham one used to be big, square and steel, presumably the Triumph part unmodified. Now it's small, with rounded edges and anodised alloy. Much improved. So if ypu're doing the Triumph thing it may not be exactly what you expect.

shn7 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Adam, Try changing the title to column rather than rack. More likely to attract someone with what you need. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 Steve: Good point 😳 I'm always getting those words muddled up. Chelspeed: I want the big square type. Mine's ally though, but still square. If I can get a fancy rounded off one, I'll replace mine and use the square one for my project, i.e. as a base for mounting something behind the removeable wheel.
