More on Mark 7 front ends and steering.

Peter Kordic has sent us this photo and comments. Very interesting.
John,If you are looking to improve the handling of you car I seriously recommend that you review the geometry. If you look at the attached photo the pivot point of the steering is in the centre of the rim. This greatly reduces the scrub radius allowing 235 profile tyres to fit inside the mudguards and leaves the steering light enough that I only use a 13 inch steering wheel and the steering is light and responsive. A little heavier when parking of course but still ok. Would be no dearer than adding power steering either.
Regards
Peter

Is the Wishbone geometry, length, pivot points, etc. still as per Holden, if so which model, is it RTS, & why fabricate so much and not also fabricate the major part of the crossmember???
Can you supply eng. drawings of the steering geometry???
