gasser59 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 So let me get this straight. When you turn the steering shaft, the wheels steer? If that's the case, then, you, my friend, are a machining genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, then, you, my friend, are a machining genius. thats the idea Brad, I don't know if you can get your fingers in to turn the steering wheel, but it will turn when you move the wheels (hopefully) I was going to say the same thing, but with something other than machining before the word genius..... LOL thanks man! Geez Bill. Just when I think it can't get any better, it DOES!! Really inspiring work man!
