The EA guidebook also has info on many different Steering systems

The Pivot Arm style, is the one we will be using
...via a steering shaft kinda like this

~14" up from the floorboard
...at the dashboard upper steering support/bushing

Goes down thru the floorboard
...kinda like this

& comes out
...thru the "saddle"
...about here

 

[Functional Artist]

So, the Pitman Arm should "go" about here

It should be ~3" long
...same as the steering arms, on the spindles

The Tie Rods should "go" about like this

Drilled a hole, thru the "saddle'

The lower steering shaft support will be a simple Nylon Bushing (from the front wheel of a riding lawn mower)

Steering shaft, spacer & Pitman Arm

Please tell me your gonna weld the axle to your "tub side" brackets at a later time and not rely on that self taper screw to hold the axle.

That EA hand book look quite interesting. Lots of info that could be used to help explain to the newbs round here.
