Looking good Luke. Did you use the 93 steering set? I can't quite see clearly, but it doesn't look right..

I stared on that part wanting to build it before I decided to give up on the project. I guess I just always pictured it to be mounted this way:

But I did a quick search online and found at least a couple pics mounted like what you did. So maybe it's an option. :mrgreen:

I just went by the manual, and my interpratation is that the ball studs mount on the arms with the small plate inbetween. if thats what you are refering to.
I do have almost everything to mount the links coming from the front "c" to the "u" shaped piece but the ball cups rub on the trinity wheels (which I like)
So either I run the black yokomo wheels or run wider hubs on the front. Not sure what I'll do. But I will need the 2 steering bell crank posts for the 93 as the ones I have are for the 91 (I believe) which would use the wire link.
How much are you short for yours?? building a shelfer??

I owned that car years ago, glad to see it is coming together! It came in a large part lot and I never did get to work on it. Those Trinity rims look good, most of the bluish/green metallic paint on them I removed with nail polish remover so that might work with the remaining little bits...is that the 91 chassis with the racers ID information etched underneither by chance?

Ah Ok!! this car exchanged hands a few times since then. :lol:. Yes its the one.
I kinda liked the blueish around the rims made the trinity stand out, but could still use some cleaning.
