Steering issues need help!

[PotvinGuy]

Here's my R&P:

It's in the front crossmember, with a steering shaft running back along the inside of the frame rail to a double U-joint to the column. If you like, I can dig out some more detail pics and post them.

I have been trying to find pix of your set up to show him. I didn’t know the shaft was inside the frame! That is fricking cool!

Interesting set up PotvinGuy. Nicest R&P installation i've seen. What are the two black cylinders on each side fwd of rack linkage? Dampers??

Yep, motorcycle steering dampers. Adjustable. Really helps with R&P.

Can you do me a favour and PM me or post a couple of pics of those MC dampers.

Thanks

Potvinguy, if you dont care to post up more pics I might be able to reverse engineer mine to something similar. Thanks

Let's see..

You can find lots of these on eBay, different sizes and colors. Just search motorcycle steering damper. Bikers get all the good stuff. Where's SEMA when we need them?

And I replaced the rod end with a beefier one:

I'm trying to post a pic but it wont let me post it from my picture gallery on my phone.

It's probably too big a file size. If you have an iPhone, then try the link below.

Agree with Indy. I don't ever use anything but my phone (android). Picture needs to be edited down to 1 meg or less.

I dont have the " upload file " button Just a button that you can use an url to upload from the interwebs.

Early ford. ‘37 to ‘48?

John, I think if those are real Ford they would be 42/48. Speedway's are round and work from 37/48.
