Question
Would a 90 degree gearbox in between two steering shafts connecting the steering wheel and steering rack be considered part of the "steering column", and be allowed to pass through the vertical slot in the internal cross section template?
Answer
Yes, mounts and housings for the steering system may utilize the 50mm wide virtual vertical slot in the cockpit internal template.
No component that is not part of the steering column or it's support may be in this space.
Any component may utilize the 50mm radius semicircle cutouts.
