i bought asc 6252 "rc10 bellcrank steering"

with those short screws and no nuts, how is this supposed to stay in the car?

i ended up installing a houge from another car in my ce, but these would have looked very nice in there.

i suppose i could turn the posts upside down, but it just seems odd to me.

The shanked nuts go from the top down.... on a tub chassis.

It is odd, and terrible to install. The plastic washers go first, then the bellcrank with bushings, then as Scr8p said the nut goes down from the top. It's nearly impossible to get it to pass thru the washer properly but once installed it works great

lol, i guess that's the way they work. to be honest, bitd i ran nothing but graphite cars with houge steering.

after i installed them i thought, "this could work upside down, but that can't be right"

thanks gents.

Great question, I have a set to put on and I too was a little stumped. Thanks!!

if using them on a graphite chassis, use the longer 7/8" 8-32 screws, install the shanked on the chassis (like you would a houge or a&l bell crank with the nut down), slide on bell cranks and secure with some 8-32 nuts.
