Steering stop
« on: September 28, 2015, 05:32:48 AM »
Looking for ideas on steering stop.Since I went and built fronend narrow,above legal limit,but narrow enough that during left's the tire could get into draglink right bfore steering locks out.

  Have looked at spindle mount idea.Using a thread piece with adjustable bolt.

Also thought about a stop  collar on drag link at suports would have to be on middle bar near front. Thinking might work loose and cause either no stop or  bind up and prevent left turn if worked its way foward.
Relecting obama is like shooting right foot because it did not hurt enough when you shot left foot

Just a simple piece of 1/4" bar stock welded to the kingpin boss. Turn wheel fully to the left with a piece of 1/4" flat plate as a gap spacer, cut barstock flat on one side and angle the other, friend holds part with NN pliers against spindle while you tack in place. You can do both sides the same to equalize front end weight or one side if you are worried about the extra weight
