Summary: Precision and ergonomics

The spacer of ø10mm is placed on the axis of the steering column, usually between the attachment tab of the rods and the centering rings.

• Height adjustment: It allows to mount or down the position of the steering wheel to adapt to the morphology of the driver (arm length).

• Geometry of the rods: Its most technical role is to maintain the horizontality of the leadership rods. A bad stacking of spacers can create "bump steer" (the direction that opens or closes alone when the chassis works in torsion).

- Mounting tutorial: Perfect alignment

1. Verification of the axis: Before putting on the spacer, make sure the axis of the column is not marked or twisted. The spacer must slide effortlessly.

2. Mounting order: If you use multiple spacers (eg one of 5mm and one of 10mm), always place the thick where the mechanical effort is most important to ensure better stability.

3. Symmetry: If you change the height to compensate for a rod angle, make sure the two rods (left and right) work with the same angle with the column.

4. Tightening: Do not tighten the column nut like a brute. The spacer must be held firmly, but the column must be able to pivot freely without hard point.

💡 Michel's trick

"We often use this 10mm spacer to mount the steering wheel when you have a big driver. The trick: Pay attention, the more you go up the steering wheel with spacers, the more you increase the lever arm on the column. My Pro Council: If you need more than 20mm spacers, check that the Nylstop nut at the end of the column takes on all its net. Security above all: a steering wheel that stays in your hands because the nut jumped, it's not ideal for taking the rope! "

❓ FAQ SEO (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Can we stack several 10mm spacers?

A: Yes, it's current to adjust the driving position. However, make sure that the length of the column axis is sufficient to engage the safety nut.

Q: Is it compatible with other brands (CRG, Birel)?

A: If the axis is 10mm, it will rise. But the spacers OTK are specifically machined to align with the Tony Kart steering bear design.

Q: Why is my spacer marked?

A: If you see circular marks, it's because your column has play and the spacer rubs abnormally. Check your teflon column rings.
