so like many others, my rangie has suffered the snapped lugs on the up/down movement on the column,
I haven't seen a post suggesting anyone has managed to fix it so decided to have a crack at it today.
I bent a piece of steel over the brass block and Tapped a thread into it.
I used the new metal on the right side of the remaining lugs so it's a weak point rather than risk breaking the remaining 2 lugs.
Works ok at the moment although the new metal has bent a little so possibly a stronger piece will be needed.
The beauty of doing this is that if the bodge fails the wheel can still be raised to the desired level,
I'd like to disable the steering wheel movement when you remove the key.
Need all comms for this I believe.
I'm no engineer so any advice on a better solution is welcome
I did take a pic of the bodge but no idea how to add it using my phone
