    Looks much better, take it for a ride first, I don't think you will need a damper!

    Where to get custom steering arms?

    Looks good, I over cut them till we had the ackerman right then trimmed them down to size, just remember on the nut side of the arm you will have to add a piece of 3/8 and weld it to the arm, beef it up so when you drill the tapper hole it has more holding force. Should be able to see it in the...

    Where to get custom steering arms?

    I used 4"x4"x3/8" angle, made them long enough to keep the r&p rods straight. You could drop them if cut longer but we didn't need to for our app. cut my own out but mine are chevy spindles, don't know why it wouldn't work with ford spindles.

    New Guy with a question

    HeloTech, first off lets get it clear on what the front end is doing, is the front tires leaving the ground and bouncing up and down, if so that is not bump steer, side to side is bump steer, if its bounce let some air out and you could have a very stiff spring. I run a frame mounted R&P and...

    front end bounce issue

    I had the same problem with mine, pissed around trying to change part to the fount end for dam near 2 years. I also tried balance beads, different air pressure, changed alignment, caster, toe in-out with no fix. It ended up being the rear tires. I had MT 29x15.5x15 biases tires with tubes. I had...

    Need Help With Coil Over Springs

    165lb shocks are fine if you have the angle right, chart in speedway, match up the weight with the angle you are going to put them at. My 165's are on a 22 deg. angle, work just fine. Your never going to make them ride like a caddy. Jerry

    K&S built his last body over two years ago, I got his last stretched body, he still has his molds the last we talked to him, his Dad which did all the glass work was unable to make any more bodies due to medical reasons. Jerry

    pedal sticking

    Check the push rod, make sure you have not preloaded it on the MC pistion, you must have some clearance between push rod and pistion

    Rack and pinion mounting to drop axle?

    Screaming, if you shorten the steering arms the ratio will be way too quick, either way you mount it if you can go longer with the steering arms to slow down the ratio. Mine is frame mounted and we have no problems with it, love it other then it is a little quick on the ratio. Jerry

    I will be following your build of the engine, are you going to change heads as well, as for the fuel tank, I would suggest you give Ron (RPM) a call, I have run two of his tanks (Aluminum and Steel) both of them work very well and built to the size we wanted 13 gal, room enough for tank, chairs...

    Rack & Pinion question

    I like mine but we are using the Chevy Metro R&P, I would be happy to give you any info you need, PM me your emil and we can do some talking, it needs to be set up right just like anything else you do, I have never had bump steer, it is a little fast in ratio but very nice to drive. I just...
