furtive 0 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 I understand that you can use jubilee clips as steering wheel stops to prevent cycle wings from fouling the bodywork at full lock. Any idea where to put them, or should I just fork out for the proper ones that Cat Motorsport for £18? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DVAndrews 1 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 On each side, extend the steering as far as possible to the aside, unclip the rubber gaiter from the end of the rack tube and pull the gaiter back along the steering arm, where the end of the rack attaches to the steering arm itself you will see a large balljoint attachment. Put the jubilee clip around the end of the rack just behind the ball joint. This should stop the rack from moving all the way in that partiuclar direction, acting as a stop. Replace the gaiter and clip. Then repeat on the other side. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brian.m 0 Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Just a little concerned cos I was considering doing this myself.BUT consider the implication of one of these jubilee clips coming adrift and getting chewed up in the rack. Ithink its a risk I'm not prepaired to take. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
furtive 0 Posted December 8, 2001 Author Share Posted December 8, 2001 What would you suggest instead then? The gubbins that Cat sell? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brian.m 0 Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Dont know what CAT sell, but would suggest that 2 piece split collar + loctite would be a more suitable method than jubilee clips. These will be availlable from I.F.S. or Infast as they are now called, or similar eng fixing suppiers. Should be £2-3 each. Not sure about size, you will have to check. Brian.

ACW 199 Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 I used jubilee clips but these soon broke up. you put quite a lot of force on the stops with the steering. I welded a two part spacer to the end stop on the rack. much safer all round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
