hi all,
i just bought a new offshore mid as my old 1 had seen better days.
the new mid i bought was runnin latham steering so the saddle has no steering/tilt tube thru it.
i have tried to get the tube out of my old mid to put it on the new mid, but with no luck (think its never seen any greese in its lifetime!!) and have now virtually destroyed it trying to get it out.
i am running hydrolic steering that bolts to the front of the saddle so was thinking of just getting a piece of s/s bar made to suit with threads on either end for the nuts.
can anyone tell me the diamiter bar i should be using? just saves me carting my heavy leg all the way down to my local engineering shop
or if anyone (pref on guernsey) has a spare one sat round i could buy?
this is the last thing i need to get it all together, and the sun is shining an sea is flat
HELP ANYONE??
