Michael Richard's Journal

Started building up the spindles by getting the bushes in and sorted, and the steering arms welded. Just some 1/2 inch bolts holding her up there. 5/8 on the way. Another piece will be welded cross-ways in front of these for the stub axles to fit through. Add a little bracing and some grinding for appearance and we should be on our way to steering.

Still working on the spindles. I took a different direction on these from others. I'm hoping this design will help alleviate the stress on the part of the 3/4" bolt at the hex head to shaft junction. The stub axles will interference fit into the spindle ring, and just be tack welded from the rear to keep from overheating the bolt at the weld. We'll see.
The tie rod you see is just a fiberglass piece to use for figuring out max steering angle. KPI is 8 degree's, and stub axles are welded at 10 degree's to give the desired 2 degree's positive camber. Caster is at 8 also but is adjustable, Pressing on.
