That's why I'm building and not buying! Lol!! Wife would rather me build, keeps me occupied in garage when I'm home!!! Steve I did get some stainless, 416, and the correct steel is easy to use!! The one pic has the mock up in brass but I have remade in stainless.




Last pic is the bolts holding the suspension towers. Everything will be milled down once proven to work. And the part holding towers is one piece from bottom cross member through frame rails. All integrates together for strength and rigidity, (I think )

I know you said it's a mock up pic. The way you have the bearings is the opposite of how the real machines are. Bearing tapers should face inward.The cups are in wheel hub opposing each other.

Yeah!! That's what I'm afraid of!! Hopefully I can mill off a lot of material when she is built!!!

Yes Steve, hopefully tonight I can figure out the spring and cap. I'm using a external snap ring for downward retention. And spring for suspension. I'm thinking of having the spring inside shaft so cap will not be so tall. Have to look at some more pics of 1:1.

I just thought of something. Did you figure the camber and caster out on your steering geometry? It looks like everything is 90deg of each other. There was a big discussion about this on "Dads Garage's" thread.
