YEAH! Then with different sprockets I could get the ratio down to one turn, lock to lock. I LIKE IT! Just like a go cart!

Really looks awsome Jason,
I think you got the geometry right. A suggestion for steering might be to consider a draglink setup. So you could use either a stock steering box or a forward steer unit. I guess the only problem with my suggestion would be building your own spindles. More money, Oh well that's wheels...
Good job...
Pete

Hey Pete,

If you take a look, you'll see the rack is already in place. The whole suspension was designed around it. All that is left is to get another tie rod, thread both of them, and shorten them and then hook up the steering wheel. Thanks for the props!

Jason

Mate this is awe-inspiring stuff. I congratulate you for your vision, and committment to following the project through the planning, design, fabrication and now to the installation (then to sorting out the bugs/problems which hopefully will only be minor). Yes I am sure many people will be asking you to develop kits, but I can appreciate the time, money, heartache involved in such a conversion.

Well done! :agree:
Alan
