Question on steering shafts

Does anyone make a flatened D shaft with another one slightly larger that I could use for a collapsible steering shaft? Searched but couldn't find what I wanted.

Thanks in advance,

Stan

 

I'm not sure who in the aftermarket sells them, but they are being made. One came with my Factory Five kit. I also use one on my '46, I know it came from a mid-70s AMC Pacer.

Did you try Borgeson?

 

If I read it correctly, you want a D on one end and a slightly larger D on the other? That seems like an easy part to make for a backyard hobby machinist. If you could find a local hobby machinist, it should be pretty cheap.

 

Thanks for the relies, yes I basically am looking for a slip tube setup for my 63 Tempest straight axle.

I do still have the original steering shaft, BUT my box is mounted way out in front of both the motor and the axle (front steer).

I just don't know that I am comfortable with a 6 foot long steel shaft pointed right at my chest with only a gl*** nose and radiator in front of it! lol

Must be getting old.

I don't recall what the working length is on a collapsible GM inner shaft was. It might not travel enough if your box is way out there. Can't hurt to check some out to see.

 

3/4" DD on one end, 1" DD on the other:

I have taken out the 3/4" end and put longer shaft in, to get the length I wanted.

 

Got it, thanks to those of you recommending Borgeson, I think that will work, I will just have to weld an extension shaft to one end or the other.

I guess in my mind I was thinking a whole length of tube sliding over another, not just the center section, but this should work fine.

Thanks again,

Stan
