Hey Guys,
I havent got to comment much or work on my buggy much lately. I dont want you guys to think ive ditched ya lol.. We had a new son so things have been very hectic with two little ones.. Anyways ive got some work done on my buggy the last few days. I went ahead and got my seats fully mounted.. Got my Tilt steering fully mounted and steering shafts from it to the servo i installed also done. I also got my rack mount welded on w/rack installed. I put the tie rods on. Finally got my spindles as close to perfect as i think they will get. Mounted my engine breather and power steering resivior. If you guys are interested in the progress i will take some pics tomorrow and post them up..

Nick

Its not a torque generator actually. Its a power steering servo. As you turn the steering shaft it pushes out fluid in the right direction to a hydraulic ram that bolts to the bottom of that plate on teh rack under teh inner tie rod ends and moves your tie rods back and forth for you making it steer like a car kinda..You can get a setup liek this from Howe power steering, Sweet mfg, kartek.com if you call kartek it would be your best bet. Theyll set you up right but not cheap..
