Huh, so simple, I think you are onto something. Just trying to figure out why I haven't thought of that.

I haven't done the hinge pin hole yet, but here is an update... I think some will like this

Anthony, can you bolt up a wheel, and go full lock to the right? I have the extended axles and B4 wheel, but get just the slightest bit of interference with the ball cup at full lock.

The blue looks Purdy!

Front end will be too wide with long #7222 axles.
To have it race legal you need #6220 axles with old 3/4" wide wheels... or #7459 axles and narrowed B4 wheel.
Or then I have to make shorter arms for you...

EDIT: This was wrong information. Axle #7222 and B4 front wheels are spot on right and race legal. Sorry.

It okay I have the wide axles, I should be racing with a handicap anyways, people say I'm "special" so it all balances out

Niki...I think my front with wide axles and B4 wheels is spot on. But I get a slight amount of interference at full lock with the outside front ballcup

Sorry Joey, I'll do that for ya and see what happens. I'll get back to ya.

Just did it and yes, the castor block ball cup interferes with the wheel.

thank you...I know your a busy guy

I'll eyeball this weekend to see what I can figure out.

This thing is coming together quite nicely. Looks like I need to order some short FT turnbuckles. I used some B4 ones for the front, but had to trim the castor block turnbuckles about a 15mm. The rears weren't even close, but I had a random short one I used for mock up. I need to order 4 all together, the steering arm and bellcrank turnbuckles and the 2 rear turnbuckles.

Here are the electronics that are hopefully going to be installed. Got some white/orange/blue wires to match my paint scheme.

Or a vertical camber ball stud and steering blocks with slightly different geometry (don't ask how I know

)

I was thinking to narrow the front wheel by cutting the inner part of the wheel off.
