Making poseable steering

[Mike]

Here's a way to make poseable steering on most/some models as long as they've got spindles and a tie-rod.

Here's a quick and easy way to make (some/most) model car tires steerable -

***What you need - Xacto knife and a lighter

1 - Put tie-rod in position on the spindles DO NOT GLUE

2 - Heat up Xacto knife blade with your lighter

3 - Quickly put hot knife onto spindle point with a little pressure for a little less than a second. Careful not to hold too long or you'll melt the tie-rod to the spindle.

4 - The plastic will melt into a mushroom head capping off the connection and leaving the tie-rod loose on the spindles and able to turn/position the front tires

5 - Touch up any paint as necessary

Cool tip, looks doable on lots of cars. I do something similar, only using short brass pins I found at a craft store.
