get a keyed uni from a shop that sells parts for small machinery
u guys seem to a a shop for everythig so u should be right
i reckon u should get a car rack & pinion and shorten it
it will save u alot of time and its really easy to do
i put two hours of work into mine form disassembaly to reassembaly
just make sure u have all the parts before u start as it took me a few days of sitting around waiting to finish

well a rack & pinion is out of the question know because i would have to completly change the front of the frame + i already have everything working just want to finish with the steering if i get a keyed onehowdo i attach to the bar

also the uni may be to tight of a angle, Make sure you can turn it freely.

Big, we just hold the camera out in front of us. Make sure that your elbow is going down and not off to the side. Point the camera at you and guess where your at in the picture in relation to ththe lens as its facing you...Guess work.

thx tman for the video that sure looks like it might just work for my steering
i was so confused on how to make the u joint work.....
just want to make sure of somethen the reason that the setup is there is to allow a long pitman arm but keep the steering from being so sensitive
