    Mike, I poured over your pictures several times, really interesting to look at all the nice touches you are putting in it. Very smart too reinforcing that hairpin steering arm.

    It was cool seeing the flamecutter making your steering arm. It did a very clean job on a thick piece like that. As for your steering being too quick, my T is 5 3/4 turns lock to lock and is way too slow IMO. Just today I backed it out of the shop and had to crank and crank to turn it sharply. Yours should end up just about right I bet.

    Keep the pics coming......love looking at them.

    Don, my hand torch work pretty much sucks! I rescued that old flame cutter from the weeds about 2 years ago and rebuilt it. It helps out a bunch. Sure saves a lot of grinding!
