If I may make a point: If we are looking at the front of the setup, you've ended up with reverse ackermann. If we're looking at the rear of the setup, ackermann may still be a bit lacking; just something to think about...

Yes this is the rear of the front end!!! And I just measured for the ackerman and I am off by about 2 deg. I'm not going to complain about that. The frame is over 7 feet long and the rear end is fixed so I'm not to worried about it!

Got some more work done on the fake radiator! I think it's coming along just great! Hopefully this weekend we will get the front end bolted to the frame.

We are now on to steering! I am still in need of a small right angle gear box. (under 50 bucks)

They have them for drill attachments but I can find anything else!

Any help?

Sure- what's the RAGB for? Steering? Maybe the steering gear from a lawn tractor?Maybe you could even molest a cheap angle grinder?

Yes it is for steering only!

 

[IceMan198753]

The angle grinder idea is looking very good right about now. Unless someone else has any input!

 

[IceMan198753]

Well I found this beauty for 20 bucks and cleaned it up nice!!!

 

[IceMan198753]

Just an update

We are starting to work on the steering, after we came across the gearbox. I have been busy with work and I am getting married this weekend so I have been really busy!!

 

[itsid]

all the best!

Would you mind letting me know where you got your frontwheels and hubs?
I think I might want those too
