[DeTomaso] Power steering update

Sorry .... should have Reply All.
 
   
You are so right.
 
I have been off the car for two weeks since my wife took a tumble  on the 
sidewalk. She is pretty much OK now .... now it's jury duty.   Anyway, back to 
work next week.
 
I have the rack correctly positioned and the driver side tie rod  shortened 
and installed. This was a matter of trimming the tie rod, trimming the  tie rod 
end, and reaming the steering arm holes to 10 deg to fit the Honda  tie rod 
ends. So things are coming along. I need to do the passenger tie rod and  
install the steering shaft U-joint. Then I will build the final mounting  frame 
work ..... what I have now is just tack welded together
 
Along the way I built a typical bump steer gauge which uses two  dial 
indicators and then struck on measuring bump steer using two Harbor Freight  lasers  
...... the laser method works great and can be easily  done.
 
So it is all still in work. I will post articles about the bump  steer 
methods and the steering system progress.
 
Who says they wouldn't know what to do if they retired. I haven't  been bored 
1 minute in the past 8 years. Just buy a Pantera.
 
Have fun,
