Mooneyzs Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Dave... Incredible work on the steering components. Man you are killing every little detail. I am loving it my friend
TedsModeling Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I swear sometimes I think I'm looking at photos of a real build on the shop floor. Outstanding and you can see the pride in your work.
comp1839 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 ray, thank you. chris, what can i say? you are THE man and i wish i had 1/10th your skill. ted, thanks. much appreciated. o.k. so......since the rack go mounted i decided to do the steering to get it out of the way.
blackbeard Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 the steering shaft looks great what did you use for the orange pieces on the steering shaft
Mooneyzs Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Dave.... Beautiful work on steering set up. I just love this build. I have to say you have way more talent than me, you are making everything from scratch. Wish I had your Machining skills...lol Henry... it looks like Dave used Silicone O-Rings for the Joints on the shaft and on the steering rack it self for the rubber boots looks like Viton (aka Fluorocarbon).
