Hi,

Many Track and Race Cars replace the
Rubber Guibo with either a solid
Alloy spacer or a Delrin one.

Just so you know, the Rubber is designed
to split upon hard impact so that the forces
generated should not push the steering
coloum into the Drivers chest.

Would be an ideal means for an Insurance
company to walk away if it was discovered
upon a big shunt.

I have a solid one on my E30 M3 but the
steering coloum picks ups are all altered
and extra tube has also been welded in
picking up the front Cage in Triangulation.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
