Old Steering System w/ Pulleys and Drum

[Tim Wunderlich]

Hello,<br />I have the same problem as another person with the cable and drum system where my old cable broke. Can you please clarify on the winding the new cable. Do you wind one side clockwise and the other counter closewise or both the same direction? Also - once the cable is wound around the drum - you run it back through the pulleys and motor and finally to the tension springs. Do you leave any slack inthe cable or should it be tight?

should be a hole in the drum to run the cable <br />through and cable wraps in opposite directions<br />around drum. once drum is wrapped a few times<br />each way, then run through pullys to motor very<br />TIGHTLY... should have 2 tension springs in the <br />corners to give a little slack. make sure drum<br />and steering wheel are tight and level, it can <br />unwrap easily if it's not. losing control at WOT <br />is very dangerous! if you can afford the extra $, <br />I sure would upgrade to a newer steering system.<br />good luck,<br />M.Y.
