front steering

well its about all mocked up. there are some issues but they seem kinda minor in the scheme of things. i need to rotate the steering rack to make the sprocket line up with the handlebars, and i need to find a new way to mount the chain to the handle bars. there is more tension then i though making for tougher static turns but being that its a high mileage vehicle i dont think it’ll spend to much time trying to turn at a stop. check out the layout.

front steering issues

well this was fun trying to get this all aorked out but its finally coming together. to get the wheels he chose to fit the hubs we had to modify the place where the tie rods connect. we went from having to run a bolt through to welding a stud and just having to tighten a nut down over the top of it. and the front steering is done with the exception of having to put some tabe on the outer tie rod ends to be able to mount them to the rack. (ran out of metal) next i’ll have to notch the rear lower control arm bars to make room for more turning radius. then i get to try to align everything. (not looking forward to that at all. anyway check out the pictures and tell me what you think.

working on the roll bar

we’re still up in the air or weither or not to put 2 roll bars in or just make the back roll bar higher to cover the drivers head. if we just do one roll bar this is what the hoop might look like (use your imagination) and the bar going forward might represent the roof line. check it out.
