Got a PFP

(package from Portland) late Wednesday afternoon..  It contained the quick steer mounting bracket.  DP designed and machined a very neat aluminum bracket that adapted a Coleman Quick Steer Unit to the standard D2 chassis. The Coleman Quick Steer unit goes into the steering shaft between the steering wheel and the rack and pinion. It has an internal 1.0 steering wheel (input) turn to 1.5 output turn ratio. This increases the steering speed by 50% and in my opinion greatly assists a driver in controlling a car being driven at the ragged edge of control.

Some have asked for a better overall view of the car. See below for a 270* video of the car.  Note that the half shafts that drive the rear wheels are now installed. The battery and starter cables are also now in place although we are waiting for another PFP next week that will hopefully contain the battery and pedal mounting brackets.

We also took another video of starting and running the engine. I love those mufflers.  Time permitting, I'll post it tomorrow (Friday).
