The VW steering box
We were able to spend some quality time with our cantankerous little Berzerkeley over the weekend as we work toward getting it to move under it’s own power. Now that all of the major components have a home in the chassis, our most immediate need is to sort the wiring.
We gave our eyes and brains some exercise by tracing the bundles of colored wire around the chassis. Our donor bike’s wiring harness wasn’t 100% complete, so to ensure our ability to flow electrical energy to all the important components we’re going to need to splice a few connectors together before this stage of the build is complete. The good news is that we’ve got all of the major branches of the wiring harness identified.
As we’ve been spending more time with the little beast, we noticed that the long hours of pushing one another up and down the driveway (driver has to make engine noises) have taken their toll on our VW-sourced steering box. Tightening a setscrew helped, but we’ll need to pin or spline the shaft before attempting any speed records.
