Steering cable on Extended Pump?
What's the quick fix for the too short steering cable on the SL650 with an extended pump? I know long term I should get a longer cable, but I'd like to take this thing to the lake in an hour!
I made an extended trim rod out of some 10-32 stock. Is there something easy like that for the steering rod?

Thanks for the help! I whittled this up while I was waiting for suggestions. Basically a coupler made out of 3/8" aluminum round stock.
Forgot I had a lathe from my stillborn "laser alignment" project back over the winter!
Sorry for the poor quality of the pic's; cheap Chinese knock-off digital camera.
Missed my deadline for the lake, the high speed test will have to wait until tomorrow.....Last edited by delagem; 06-28-2007 at 03:48 PM.

Not a bad job. Should be solid enough, and a hell of a lot cheaper than the 75 bucks i just paid for mine.

Cool! They also sell coupler nuts for this purpose that get locked in place by a std nut on each end too bad you missed the lake

But you probably knew this

Yeah, I knew something like that existed, but I live in the middle of nowhere, even finding anything metric, aluminum, or stainless in this town is a challenge! If I need something quick, I gotta make it
Speed test will be posted tomorrow! Or possibly S.O.S., if my homemade coupler lets go, and I get stranded.....
Did you wanna talk about my new pump?
