Small steering rack

[andyandy2]

Steering boxes can be found on some of the japanese type pick-ups (car-size) or smaller 4 wheel drives, or another possibility might be something off a ride- on lawn mower

Yeah, been looking at vitaras, they look like an option, cheers!

Japenese pick ups good, lawn tractors tend to have the steering built into the chassis.

 

[gregers]

how about a decent go kart??

Cheers guys.

The trouble with go carts and rideon mowers is that the steering is too direct. I want 2-3 turns lock to lock, they are usually less than 1 turn lock to lock - especially go carts.

I saw a vitara steering box last night, looks ideal, I think that's what I'll use.

Cortina Mk1/2, Anglia, Pop, most late 60's motors will still be on a box, plenty common, the cortina ones especially, lots of people convert to rack and pinion.
