Hi guys, whats the general idea for changing or modifying steering stops on RGV yokes? is it best to cut off old ones and weld new? I don't really want it to look like a bodge so all suggestions welcome. Thanks.

if u drill n tap it hide the bolt in a recessed alloy sleeve/spacer ... Nige at nk does a good job of welding on a nice set of lock stops...

I personally like the drilled and tapped option too.
As Mr Kipling says you can either make a nice alloy sleeve, or do as I do and turn a stainless threaded stop down. The advantage of this is you can have minor adjustment by making the stops or sleeves slightly different diameters to fine tune.

Thanks, I like your thinking Jon, the problem with with Nigel is he cant take any more work until summer he told me. I guess I'll try and get something made up.

Drilling and tapping the holes is not beyond most peoples aptitude.
I could make either sleeves or stops to screw in.
