NecronomiconJules Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Greetings all. There is a very tempting S2K for sale in SoCal, a late-issue, F22C affair with all manner of suspension and structural reinforcements. To this total newbie it looks promising. Trying to do due diligence I noticed something that doesn't fit your 6'4'' truly: the steering shaft is attached just under the dash. Last time I sat in a S2K with "low" steering there was just too much left knee to turn the wheel. However, I have seen pictures of some S2Ks (board member GunshipDriver's comes to mind) with the steering going through the dash - I assume it can be done. So finally the question: does anyone here have experience with the kind of effort/expenses involved in having the steering column professionally modified that way? Comments/suggestions on this issue and other S2K areas of concern are much appreciated. Thanks. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderbrake Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I don't have your size problem, and I have the below the dash mount, but would a smaller steering wheel help? The steering is light enough to use a smaller steering wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NecronomiconJules Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 mine is above the dash and i have no problems.i also use a larger wheel. RGTorque: what your picture shows is exactly what I need: the steering shaft goes through the dash, not below it. How did that happen on your car? Did you order it like that? Any idea of the fabrication involved would help. Thanks. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTexasS2K Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It's simple to do. Just flip the bearing over and run the shaft thru the dash. The main clearance issue wl be the pedal assy will not slide as far forward for shorter drivers. It won't be a problem for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindcars Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I am currently building a S2K and went the route no one jas gone yet, thru the bar, versus going on top. I didnt like the above the bar look (personal taste) and wanted to use a larger wheel than can be used in stock formation. Im having problems posting pics but would gladly email so someone could add here if wanted. Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
