About two turns lock to lock. I like that. Looks like the enginerds were just trying to impress the customers on the sears showroom floor. They didn't care if the steering didn't last a good long time.

How am I supposed to run a belt through this junk?

As to anything else on this build? No progress. Have yet to put an oppy together or find any reasonably sized engine for it.

I am slightly jealous... not because you made the bushings, but Id love to have some brass bar like that in the 1in-1.5in range... Those tires gona be fronts or rears?
