Moving Steering Wheel Closer To Sitting Position

[swifty]

I have a Ultraflex manual steering system is their a way of adapting the input shaft to move the wheel closer to the seat.

put a cushion on the seat?

Google "steering wheel hub extension" and you'll find lots of options. Just makes sure you get one with the right hole pattern for your wheel. If you want to replace the existing hub with a longer one, then of course you also have to check the shaft dia and taper are also correct.

Go to see Doctor and ask to have arms extended .

Not being sarcastic here but would it not be easier to move your seat forward????

Do you honestly think I would ask the question if the seat was movable, as for your input Omega2 you obliviously get to 3090 posts by posting drivel. MartynG I am a fully paid up tax payer in this country when I am I ever going to get to see a doctor.

Nick h thank you for your sensible answer, after taking your advice, I have now got ideas for machining a suitable hub extension.

My knuckles drag along the ground, no problem in reaching things or hitting nerves. LOL

Seems the OPs problem is that his stature is er... not what the boatbuilder designed for.....

I am reminded of the complaint written in rhyme on a toilet wall

This bloody toilet is no good at all
The seat is too high and the hole is too small

underneath someone else had written

To which I must add the obvious retort
Your arse is too big and your legs are too short

So Mike, this ditty sums you up.......(also on toilet wall)

"Some come here to sit and think
Some come here to sh*t and stink
I come here to scratch my balls
And read the writing on the walls"

Different pumps have different designs/measures. If you consider pumps with tilt feature you normally get the wheel closer to you.
