Steering arm measurements - Help

[Keeper]

I am looking for a measurement for flat steering arms. After looking around for steering arms, I figured I would take a shot at making my own.

I really only need an overall length, everything else will be determined by the "Ackerman" theory/rule/ideas.

Thanks!

Is that 3/8" thick angle you are going to cut them from? Can't tell from the picture, but it needs to be 3/8"

From the center of my kingpin to the center of my tie rod mounting point it measures 6".

Yup that is 3/8 plate. I even looked at the 1/2!!

I bought 4x6 angle for the upper steering arm. (I looked for 2x6 but they didn't have any)

And 3x4 for the lower arms.


Thanks for the measurement!
