Mando, you became a senior member when you hit 100 posts.

Another question for you Mike, where did you get the lower steering rack uni joint from?
And did you say the steering shaft you made was from "bright steel"?

While I am at it, can anyone tell me who sells rose joints?
I'm pulling finger. Nearly got the roll bar setup finished today then the body comes off again.

I got my steering uni from Ian but he doesn't do these nice billet ones any more. I'd be talking to a couple of the hot rod hardware places to see if you can source one.

The shaft is made from bright steel. It machines much better and should be stronger than plain old black or mild steel. It's still a mild steel but it's been aloyed with a few other elements.

I've been buying QA1 rose joints from Austrack Motorsport in Sydney. Good quality chrome moly teflon lined rod ends at reasonable prices. Possibly cheaper than the plain old industrial ones you'll buy from Blackwoods.

Cheers
