  1. Thanks mr48chev I didn't want it to look like I scabbed in some tubing!

    That looks awsome! Can't wait to see how this one turns out... That nose is perfect.

    Clever way to sneak that clutch linkage around in a very small space. If the ratios work out that will be slick.

    What kind of steering box are you using?

    Haven't had much time to work on the T but I have started making my lay down watts linkage and made some brackets to get the rear shock levers mounted to the rear end

    That's a cool idea looking forward to seeing how you execute this. I was wondering if I need to do a watts link on my current project. How/why did you come to the
    Conclusion that you needed one? Maybe it's obvious ( not to me
    I'm a dummy) but curious to know why .

    Regarding the steering. It looks like you may have lengthened the sector shaft. If so can you elaborate on how you did it?
    I like the project! The nose is killer!
     
  13. No real reason I just like watts links because the rear stays centered at any position were a pan hard is as affective but works on a slight arc and with a transverse spring I'd rather the rear stayed centered at all of it's up and down travel

  14. Thanks man I took the sector shaft out of the box and bored the center of it out and took a splined shaft that I had from a anti roll bar someone was making. The bar wasn't hardened or spring steel so I was able to pin it and weld it to the sector after pressing it in

    Very nice work. I've never understood horizontal Watts links. They just make my brain hurt for some reason. Please keep the updates headed our way! Gary
     
  24. Thanks guys I'll keep the post coming!! The lay down watts can be confusing for sure the center part has very little movement. It doesn't matter if it's horizontal or vertical but basically it works off the center of the suspension
