Default Lucky I found this.. Could have locked up the steering

Remember that time you figured out that your nice billett steering arms are hitting the tie Rod ends and locking up the steering ... Gee that as a fun time wasn't it

Glad you found it now.

We spent a lot of time, cycling steering, suspension, etc. Found things like control arms hitting and locking on coil over springs, sway bars hitting and locking suspension down... I guess "that's hot rodding"

Default staying with the theme of "Sketchy things I find"

Since I had to take the entire front suspension off to drill two holes :-)
I figured I would replace the wheel studs with longer ARP studs..
In keeping with the theme of Scary stuff I find.. I think a shorter bolt should have been used on this hub to spindle connection....

Is it longer for your steering arm or something?

Yeah, it's a bit close.

When are we going for that beer?

Default Prop valve

So haven't seen anyone do this but I got obsessed with the idea to be able to adjust the brake pressure from the drivers seat

Default Valve

So I picked up the detent type valve ran these neat bulkhead connections with -an to the valve . It's in a good spot to get to it without being in the way
