Good evening
I have been reading the mail from Malcolm Parker (2017) about his problem with the steering wheel nut when tightened up jamming the steering box. I have read the various solutions and can see that a circlip could solve the problem. Only problem is that the indent to which I would fit the circlip is up against the end of the outer tube so would not solve the problem. I cannot move the outer shaft even having released the clamping bolt. I am guessing the only solution is to reduce the length of the outer tube or to engineer a tab washer arrangement to prevent the nut undoing. Wondering if any one has any other ideas.
