I have a few steering related questions. I will also call Alan but I know he is very busy with Maurice out praticing early retirement as he recovers from foot surgery.
Having never driven a cobra, I do not know how the steering should feel. I got the column installed today and in moving the wheel felt the motion was stiff. I have a CJ5 with rack steering and it moves w/much less resistance. It felt as if someone was holding onto the rotor as I was trying to turn the wheel. No tires are on at the moment. She is high and dry on jack stands.
Second, the set screw on the middle steering linkage is so close to the nut holding the throttle linkage, I could not get a piece of paper between them when they pass while rolling the wheel.
Finally, as I turn the wheel the mechanism that engages the turn signals clicks even though the signal arm is not engaged. ?????
OK, that concludes this series of rookie questions. I am guessing operator error may be at work here but some of the concerns above have me back to my normal stand and stare position.
Thank you all in advance.
