I was unable to source steering arms for the ATS spindles. We took one of the Gen 1 steering arms and cut the webbing out of the ball joint relief so the arms would be oriented outboard.

I have spent some time with Tony Woodward learning how to properly locate one of his racks. I want to raise the rack and rotate it down some if I can. In the process of learning this we also discussed steering arm length and it's relationship with steering ratio. That led to some study on Ackermann which is still in process.

I took the cut up arm to one of our machinist's and had a prototype machined. He re-modeled the cut up with 100% Ackermann, 4 3/4 arm length, and 5/8 thru for the linkage bolt.

They fit very nicely. A little rework in order, but I may finally order the rack
