Started a mini car...
« on: August 06, 2012, 07:43:18 am »
I started a mini car using 4-wheeler parts. More progress has been made since these were taken: I'll take more & upload them soon.
BTW; if anyone has a very small steering rack I could use one. Needs to be around 12" eye to eye, 2 turns lock to lock, & have around a 4" throw.

Paul, I'm not positive but I think Club Car golf carts use a rack and pinion steering.  Check with Sandy Creek over on 98 or the Commerce Country Club and see if they'll let you look at a cart.  They might even have an old unit you could get to refurbish.  Club Car is in Augusta so you could easily get parts. 

BTW, I didn't see any pictures.

Nice work, lucky you guy are allowed to drive it on the roadways
We here need to put new projects thru an engineering inspections costing over $12000
but if the project car was home built it would NEVER get on the road because it has not been crash tested
