Pop Steering Column

[neil foster]

Hi Guys.
I have just bought a 1954 Pop but need to adjust the seating to accomodate my expanding girth. I am having the seats modded and hopefuiiy going to moved them back and down. But has anyone any experience of Ididit tilt and telescope columns. My sticking point is the bottom adaption to the escort Mk2 steering rack as the Ididit has a double d formed tube. Does anyone know who to contact that might supply a U/J adaptor as it needs to mate to a spline on the rack end and a double d plain boss on the column end.
Many in advance Neil

You need a double d to double d uj, a length of double d shaft and a double d to spline ( of correct diameter and spline count) uj. Other combos possible.

At the very least you'll need the dd / spline uj. Dd shaft can be made with round bar, they only need to be d'd at the ends. Milling, careful filing, even very careful grinding. Dont think escort shaft is fat enough as the dd is 3/4", but ways around that too, drilling, welding.

Ducksville website is handy.

Someone's bound to chime in here with the escort spline spec.

Car Builder Solutions will probably have everything you need mate, they do UJs with double D one end spline the other.

Hi Guys. thanks for the replies. I did as Tim W suggested and looked on Car Builder Solutions and sure enough they sell u/j adaptors so every thing shou
ld be ok as Ididit got back to me with the fittment dims and CBS sell just what I want. But you know sods law will step in and throw a spanner inthe works.
