Hi, New Fury owner

Postby Jmad » Wed Apr 08, 2015 2:42 pm

Hi, I am hopefully picking up a Fury this weekend. My Kit car history has included a Striker so this is my second JP car. Other Kits are Westfield, Marlin and an Apal speedster. The striker was a blade engine and the fury has a Vauxhall Z20let engine.

Hi, and welcome.

Had my Fury for 3 years - cracking cars.

Hopefully all goes well for the collection

Why did I read that as "furry" and think I must go and have a shave :D

Hi. I'm trying to get the fury to fit me. I need to move the seat a couple of inches forward which is fine and then the pedals and gear-lever are fine but that means the steering wheel is too close. Is there an easy way to either move everything further away or can you get a narrower boss. I have a standard Momo boss (85 mm deep) and a flat 320mm Momo wheel.

Is this a 6 bolt or 3 bolt steering wheel?

6 bolt. Happy to get a new wheel if that gives me more options.

If you changed this for a 3 Bolt (which will be a smaller diameter and more in keeping with the car) and a removable mount like one of these

The 'slug' is welded to the steering coloumn and therefore you could cut down the coloumn to the total length you needed. You could actually use their 6 x 70mm removable boss if you prefer to keep the wheel you have.
