plym49, everyone should read post 76, because it demonstates clearly that you do not understand the basic principles of steering geometry. Mech58...
Anyway Mart to answer the question, I asked Hughie and he says he cant tell any difference on curves, but I'm not sure we dont need more time to...
Well Mart, I don't know how the rod ends should be set but I always screw the spring right in then back it off half a turn so there isn't much...
Thanks for that Kris. I get what you mean. You might get some kind of voodoo curse putting that "thing" on this forum! A good "how not to"...
Hi Kris, yea taking the mick and joking around....evidently same thing!:):). I'm really interested in what you are saying here. I don't understand...
I think you are taking the mick, but we did look at a Watts link. However the bars each side of the vertical link are spaced too far apart to...
Hi Moonman, I had a look at some T rears on Google images...its very different to the ol A isnt it?! Seems to me there isnt much to bolt a...
A guy has to tread carefully on the FB, some grumpy ol curmudgeons over there!! ;)
Binger, believe me, the one on the rear also has a big effect...just ask Hughie!
Moonman, I am looking to do just what you describe on my '32 V8. How about an upside down "?" shaped piece of plate drilled and bolted to front...
Thanks chaps, Hughie will be chuffed to bits that you like his fettlin' ! So here's part 2 of the great "how to make your sloppy jalopy handle"...

Thanks for that

Edward my father lived 25 miles from Donington and persuaded his father to take him to the1937 Grand Prix. It was the defining moment of my dads...
Well Edward, this is not the place to discuss allegiances maybe. I only say that because I don't feel comfortable with some of the tribalism the...
Fortynut....brilliant! Mid engine is the way to go! Not how I pictured it, but great lateral thinking...
Dawie I could probably recite that thread verbatim! Specials and hotrods run parallel and cross over all down the history line. I do have...
OK so yr average trad hot rod didn't sport a 1947 Rover chassis, but hey..its in period!
