I posted this on CCF too and am hoping between two sites someone can guide me along here.
I'm hoping there is a link to a thread for this somewhere. (my computer is having a hard time with the search right now)
I am restoring a 91 BF (V-drive) and want to know how much play is normal. I seem to be able to move the rudder up and down about 1/4" maybe a lil more... Can it be snugged down? do I need to add a brass washer between the top nut and arm? There is very very little play otherwise. And obviously I know to use the safety wire.
The cable seems to slide ok, but I have several inches of 'play' either way in the steering wheel before the cable engages. Do I just pull the back off the underside of the steering mech. to adjust of fix? I am a little paranoid about working on steering, and the ramifications if I don't do something correctly.... Thanks for any help!
