For Control.

They also over torqued their bolts to overcome the lack of preload, but did not for the other nuts that had the same problem (e.g. nyloc, all metal).

Here are a few pics

Using Saker now. Works great. Made my own side brackets that let seat down all the way to floor.

Bottom line is get rid of most if not all plastic in the design. Flexibility in directions not intended in the joints and bushings is bad.

So by that logic is a scale model (or even full size replica) of an older Ferrari ok?

I have been using a MAC system in my trailer and love the flexibility. I still have big D-rings at the far ends of the trailer which I also use. The trailer sometimes carries one or two cars of different type so that the weight CG, etc. requires mounting flexibility. The MAC system is great...

One way of getting the rod to work with such a small hole is to mount the upper pivot as close to the underside of the hole as possible and have the rods all clear. That is what I did. Can maintain a larger throw and still have room.

That is why my rod ends go through the one plate to minimize the unsupported length. When I am in 3rd gear there is little clearance with the ball. Alignment of the system is relatively easy as I only have to get close. The rod I used is 3/4" hollow shift steering rod and bending is not an...

Might make the race more interesting??

A forum member once had a site logostar2000.com which had some good stuff. I purchased several things from him at the time and they have held up well. A shame he is not still around.

Sounds more like an aero device then the spring mass damper of last year.

The one Ross uses function exactly like mine. Different support methods.

As you can see I used the steering shaft plate mount ball bearings to the alum plates as well as a similar mount near the engine compartment bulkhead. I have a total of three shafts. First joint at the bulkhead next near the starter.

An alternative method of actuation is where the handle directly rotates the shaft and the fore/aft motion is controlled with a rod end. There is a u-joint welded to the shift rod and a rod end at the bottom. Plate structure is aluminium and the shift rod is a fine 1/2" all thread. This allows...
