How to center steering column on 512E?

UnclePirate · 09-06-2021, 11:06 AM

I purchased a Melex 512E to use with my ~400lb power wheelchair stripped it down to the frame and am relocating batteries to provide floor space for my chair. We will be adding a ramp and making it street legal. Most of the project is going well but my nephew and I are stuck on the steering. Because of the weight of me and my chair, we removed the steering assembly to move it to the center of the cart. We figured out where to mount the steering box but cannot figure out how to connect it to the lever below that turns the wheels. Has anyone done this? Any suggestions? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am sure this won't be my last begging for help.

Thanks,
