Nice. In addtion, I would take a small section of rubber hose and slit down one side it so that it can go over the wire where you zip tied it to the column to provide some additional strain relief where it attaches to the column.

why has someone not designed a clock spring setup, like used in an oe column, but specifically designed for motorsports use? we have the technology to make a street car drive 1000+ miles and run 5s, but nobody can come up with something better than a wire wrapping around a steering shaft?

You guys should make the disconnect have the wire run in the middle and when u remove the wheel have a plug built inside of the middle you guys make Steering wheels and almost everything for steering might work out would be nice no more wires hanging down

Hey Guys love all your products. Installed a icon series throttle body a month ago and it not only fixed my idle issue but it fixed issues I didn’t even know I had. I’m wondering if you guys ever run expansion tanks for Co2 boost control. I’ve been fighting my system all summer. Tried every PID setting possible. Some guys on Holley forums recommended a small tank to increase dome volume essentially. I’m building one now. Wondering if you guys run anything like that and if so I think that would be a great product to offer and maybe some tech tips on it would be great. Thanks for all the awesome content.

Here's another tech tip to stuff inside your tech tip: When working on steering components where you'll want to cycle the wheel from lock to lock a few times to test that everything is working as it should, jack up the front of your car just high enough to get the front tires off the ground. It will be easier to turn the wheel and you won't wear a flat spot in your tires. Yes I know you're not really going to wear your tires on a smooth painted or tile floor but a lot of folks work on their car in their driveway. I mean the car was already parked in a 2 post hoist, just take 30 seconds to raise the car off the ground.

When are you guys going to make a pad similar to factory cars where the wires mount to the wheel and the column with spring loaded pins coming out the back of the wheel to ride on the pads on the column then wires can be loomed tight to the column and no more hanging phone cords at all

These days a "clock spring" assembly is used. Plenty of KZfaq vids on them. I was thinking an aftermarket version would be cool. I guess it would be hard with all the different size steering wheels and columns out there.
@young119842 жыл бұрын
@@HSVR383SC i know a clock spring is used but todays race cars dont have air bags or cruise control with a Motion column and wheel, i was referring specifically to their columns and wheel set ups. They are getting into back of the track stuff so most of those vehicles do not have creature comforts, just whats needed to get down the track so them and I would be interested in something without a bulky connector hanging off the back of the wheel and stretchy cords

Doug you guys are always trying to come up with new stuff right, why don’t you create some type of quick connect clock spring type steering wheel, where the wires pull out of Center post, the guys usually just hang it in something nearby anyway, wouldn’t that be nice, unlimited buttons curly cord that pulls out of Center tube and you can make a mount for hanging the steering wheel nearby. Think about the convenience, you could even make the steering wheel mount a quick electrical connection! No cord just plug and play clock spring for a race car! Limitless possibilities, turn signal buttons, nitrous, scramble, headlights, cruise control, dude we should make this together.

Late 70s and early 80s Ford, Mercury and Lincoln had cruise control buttons in the steering wheel. They used a horn button plate with multiple spring loaded button type connections. They were everywhere and I made a fortune fixing horns and cruise control failures, in the 90s. The piece was 35 bucks and had wires soldered to the plate and a plug on the end. Failure usually was just a dirty connection where the plate turned against the buttons.

@@MotionRaceworksOfficial If it was easy it would already exist. Instead of using bluetooth you could use one of the methods that have been around for decades like Remote Control cars use.
