    Bell crank steering

    There was no way my wife was ever gonna crawl through a hole (not that she couldn’t, she just wouldn’t) so doors were a must. The windshield, heated seats and the heater all follow this same logic. On the doors, I added a couple 1/4” plates. In case I roll it over on a rock, I didn’t want...

    Bell crank steering

    Thanks all, It was a labor of love and hate. Life is hard and it’s even harder when your stupid,lol. Everything I did made life harder on the next step. Mount the steering box where you think it needs to be and then the pitman arm hits the master cylinders. Buy the smallest master you can find...

    I wanted all my pans removable and welded. This was my first aluminum welding so don’t trash my welds, just showing the concessions I had to make to work around the steering components. Third mock up. First was cardboard. Second was plywood but I don’t find the pics. A good look at the front...

    Bell crank steering

    I’ve been meaning to post this for a while. There’s not a lot of info out there on bell crank steering setups and when I built my buggy I had to figure it all out for myself. I wanted my buggy to be street legal and I wanted to maintain a mechanical link. There are a few examples out there and...

    Flatlands #1

    Looking good. Is the front sway bar mounted to the front axle and linked to the frame or am I seeing things? There is no good place on my buggy for a conventional installation and I have been considering just that. I haven’t seen it done, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work.

    Aluminum Link Questions

    Stock car steel has the best prices I found for 7075. Plus you buy it by the inch, so no waste. I called them and it was actually cheaper than their website. They don't have 2-1/4" listed but they sell it. I ended up a little less than $600 in mine shipped. A local machine shop drilled and...

    Everything you ever wanted to know about flat top knuckles. Been a while sense I read through it but I bet your answers in there somewhere. Junk yards around here are full of them. http://77cj.littlekeylime.com/flatop_knucles.html
