custom steering Knuckles and getting max lock

[Delazy]

arent T3 knuckles still standard ackerman even with the shorter hole?? therefore still leaving you without the biggest benefit of getting modified knuckles??

[driftke70]

my memory is a bit hazy but setting the akermans from the factory revolves around the center point of the rear axle, so it would change through wheel base and track differences.

The degrees might be similar but the rate it changes through the steering arc would be somewhat different.

while this thread is bumped up i might aswell update on the NP knuckle situation...

ive got 2 pairs being shipped to me atm, should arrive 2morrow if not monday morning...should have pics online as soon as they arrive...

the design was slightly changed over that of the "heyman" knuckles...mainly to suit the jig/reproduction...

costing will be $150 + shipping, supply your own knuckle...

a pair of them will be in a fairly capable 20v 86 down here in tassie in the coming week or so for "testing"

footage will be posted up once testing is done =P

I wa planning on doing a new design this afternoon for my car but time is abit tight...
First thing tomorow. I'll get on it...

First set were 1/3rd factory akerman and standard PS length... didn't get the lock I was locking for but akermans seems good.. so new set will be shorter... 105mm centers and see if I can get it rubing tyres everywhere and 3 turns lock to lock..
