Fantastic IFS For Butler Cobra

Arthur,

Got it. I thought you had somehow come up with a way to eliminate the intermediate shaft altogether and only have the one u-joint That sounds like it should be a much nicer setup. Thanks for the clarification.

(The MGB rack shaft is at a higher angle) The Fast Cars rack is also a few inches maybe 3 inches lower than the MGB rack and the pinion is a litter closer to the center of the car, say 1". So to make a direct connection from the steering column and the rack I choose to cut the cowl and eliminate another U-Joint. I will remold this cutout section with new fiberglass.

Hope my explanation is clear.

Arthur,

I got a phone call from Ted today and he says he cannot deliver a chromed front end, not even chromed control arms and spindles. Naturally I am disappointed, but a silver one like the one on his site will be just fine.

How is your car coming along? Hope things are going well.
