New steering rack
Only 9 inches long and weighs less than 1 KG
Will drill and tap billet to take new 3/8 male rod ends.
Tie rods will be home made from tube with female nut inserts for each end.
Steering arms will be super short from hub centres to get amount of wheel movement required.
Aiming for 3 KG for tie rods / steering rack / support brackets / steering colomn / UJ ( compare that to your std Mopar weights )

I have decided due to work commitments to get Pete of Chassistec to build the car to a rolling steering state.
Modify chassis / fit body panels / wheels / axles / struts etc.
I shall let Pete update with his photos

Glad to see your still progressing Jon. It makes good sense to get someone in when your so busy with your own business.
I look forward to seeing the updates

Nice Jon, from what i've seen Pete seems very capable.
You trying to make us all jealous showing us that workshop or do you plan on renting it out for raves.
