Well, as I said, I would weigh the GRP parts, after the News years party, and after I woke up. I have an industrial scale that weighs to the tenth lb. fairly...
I was out walking my dog just after midnight last night (not a very rowdy New Years Eve here this year) and down the street noticed that almost every car...
I have a supplier that I use locally for hot rolled steel, but he doesn't carry anything cold rolled or aluminum. I've been using www.onlinemetals.com for my...
Hi Billy: I use Metal Supermarkets in Iving because it's close. They have a great selection of 6061 and let you wander around the warehouse looking for what...
Chris, I found Metal Express to be quite expensive compared to Online Metals even when shipping is added in. Of course it depends on what you're ordering, but...
David and Craig: Very interesting results, indeed. As you say, David, for a given weight, tube shape is not much of an issue on the stiffness of a well...
I am hesitant to release much information about the design since it has yet to actually be built and there is quite a bit of detail to be done (like verifying...
HI All, Just wanted to share my progress for 2005 on the WIDE body 442+ design. Please give me any comments or questions why I did what I did. This will help...
Hi Stan, The horizontal angle of the steering arms will determine your "Ackerman Steering". The inside wheel will steer a slightly different amount than the...
Thanks Craig, Sounds like I might not have any significant problems unless I'm racing and trying to get every bit of handling out of the car. Here is some...
Here in the Seattle area, Boeing Surplus is a good source for aluminum in that it has good prices (especially with my retiree discount), but what they have in...
I haven't seen that system used itself, but it's similar to Smart Strings from Smart Racing, although the Smart Strings setup is 1/4 the price, or less, and if...
G'Day Stan, First off, Happy New Year to you and everyone else on the list. Re scratching your head, The steering ball joint "in line" with the inner pivots is...
GDay Mike, And Happy New Year to you. Yes, your machine is the pin-up on the wall, it is what I'm shooting for in looks, accept it will be Left hand. Yours...
Billy, The Smartline system is much better priced and easier to build a similar one. The one feature that the other has is it can give you the ability to ...
... Stan Nice build!! I now wish I had painted my intake after cutting it up. Do you recall the adaptor [make or P/N] you used to mount your steering wheel to...
Dave, I got the Steering wheel and adapter kit from JC Whitney. The wheel adapter kit was # 075081 for $24.95. It has a new Cu horn disk and wheel contactor...
For corner weighing a car, you must have weight sensors that don't displace when pressure is put upon them, else it'll throw off the reading. Unfortunately I...
Kirt, I believe since oil is not compressible and the 4 hydraulic load cells are leveled with a relationship to the car I think it should work. The only ...
Finally, today I got the steering rack and column mounted in a pretty rigid fashion with the former temporarily bolted down. I then setup to take bumpsteer...

I would think one other possible problem would be the effect of different offset wheels at front and rear, perhaps? I prefer to use scales like Intercomp or ...
Steve nice job to locate rack. You can also use shims at the outer end of the track rods, assuming your rack mounting is in the approximent correct position....
Most definately. The rack is pretty easy to raise in half inch increments using 1" and 1/2" tubing but then fine adjustment, as you say, can be done with...
