All great information. THANKS
Will look at safety wire room. Can always drill small hole in spoke if it’s an issue.
Basically the bend is the same as the original steering rod in this car.
Running for 9 years w/o issue.
Also virtually all AC Cobras were like this.
Is it perfect, these cars are not. The camber changes as you steer as well, spring elongates while articulating in corners on both ends.
Will see how it works, remember virtually all SAI race cars did this.
All buggy spring 7000 and 8000 are like this too.
Guessing the same for 4000/6000 cars. The ends are still outside the center plane if the ball joint.

Hmmm, maybe it’s time for a Porsche
