Your comment on the rack having to be in line with the lower control arm to have zero bump steer is not correct...... There's a line between the inner upper pivot (upper control arm) and lower pivot (or lower control arm) that you can have the end of the steering rack mounted on.... And as you guy's get up into larger GT-1 type of cars....you will start to under stand how we have been able to get larger cars to handle on race tracks....and the lower control arms are mounted under the chassis so low that you can't get a steering rack down to that level. Ackerman works better on Sedan type of cars then on formula cars.... Just trying to give you some of the experience that took us many years to acquire. Morris |

we have also made some new side mirror mounts and side vents, its getting there now. Gary. |
very nice work. i find the side mirrors useless with all the vibration and limited view going down the road unless a convex mirror is used, looks real nice though. same with the rear view, i switched to a boat mirror from cabelas and makes a world of difference. for the side you can get the round stick-on if you decide to try it.
