Is this (see picture) the pin that is supposed to get cut off?

When turning the key, it only moves in/out about 1mm. Does that sound right? Just cut this pin off and I'm done? I don't want to cut the wrong thing...

Thanks in advance.

 

That's it.

Such little movement had me questioning if that was correct. I ground it down, installed it, and it worked. I'll leave the pic up for future reference.

I will now give myself a time-out for the silly question...

 

Is this a step to reduce weight on the track car or?

 

guess you dont want the wheel locking accidentally on the track? Or did you ditch the key..

 

NASA requires that the steering lock be removed. I guess the reason being that if you kill the ignition (because of a fire or...) while moving and move the key too far you won't lock your steering and lose directional control while stopping.

 

Just get rid of the whole ignition switch assembly...

That boy just ain't right.......

 

"I see", said the blind man.

Makes perfect sense.

 

We're building it to be a killer autocross monster.

 

Looks like a fun project!
