Hey Ross,

I can't remember which year 928 spindles you used, but the ones I own have bolt on steering arms. With that in mind, I'm going to have new ones machined that have the pivot point way up high like the Bug ones so I can eliminate bump steerwhile having the rack over the top of the shifter tunnel. I suspect they will be quite expensive, but I do have a couple of master machinist friends that might be able to help me out. I know what you are talking about, using the stock 928 steering arms puts the steering rack right about dead square in the middle of the frame horn.

What kind of ETA do you imagine for finishing Martin's car anyway? How much did those rear bearing carriers cost to machine?

Cheers,

Jason
