nickh7 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 This one is on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Momo-Model-Mod-26-black-leather-260mm-Formula-steering-wheel-7E-/153991593729?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Think Ian wanting the CSR 290mm model...Is the dish different for reach Ian or will the 5mm radius give you better sight of the gauges....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 I find the bigger the wheel the less effort to steer and less jaring.I'll be putting some rack spacers in this winter to help with the bump steer (no scientific measurement / calculation of BS just based on 'feel' and blatchat knowledge)My kit was delivered with a 290 and was comfortable, except knee space was tight so I sold it and went 260. Lowered floor created more knee space so want to revert.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 CSR uses the Momo 'Team' wheel with the 6 bolt fixing in 280 / 300 size. I have considered this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I would invest some time measure the bump steer.... guessing with steering geometry could land you in all sorts of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 Are the measurement guidelines in the archives? Any hints & tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Is it this one http://lowflying.lotus7.club/lowflying/search.jsp?author=0&category=0&tag=0&month=0&year=0&query=%22bump+steer%22+shims&orderBy=3&strPage=1&doSearch=1Or even Paul Deslanders pdf here: http://www.fastgrandad.co.uk/documents/Measuring%20and%20Correcting%20Bump%20Steer%20on%20a%20Caterham%207.pdf I have around 10mm under my rack and have been thinking of having made new clamps to avoid the shims because it looks untidy.

7 wonders of the world Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 there was a long thread that myself and james B contributed too, happy to send you some notes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 I've never set the car up properly so I might have to set aside a day to check everything. Already been offered the loan of a bump steer gauge.The biggest challenge will be setting up four perfectly flat pads on the garage floor which has a 2 inch fall (by design!)Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Easy enough to sort with a spirit level and some plywood 'shims' - rare to find a plumb floor !Is the gauge single sided... make sure yo check both sides - not uncommon for them to be different, the pick up point on the Spitfire uprights were not exactly precision !You can do both sides at once with simple laser levels and zip tie, dace forward or backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
