Still working folks. Here are the updates. Through good advice here and just plain observation it has become clear that the A arms have to be moved closer for various reasons. The A arms are being moved in 4 and 1/2 inches from my original plan. This means the arms are now to short and will need to be legthened by this much. I had sought to avoid this so as to keep most of the off the shelf parts stock and easy to find replacements. On the other hand though if a person manages to bust a lower control arm it is probably due to an accident or such. I havent seen a conrol arm wear out due to normal road use yet. I am currently wating on a set of fresh tie rods and for the paint to dry on my rebuilt rack. I am also experementing with some diffrent break MCs to see if I can get the A arms even closer to center. As soon as a few things are worked out I will post some pics and begin a step by step.
