Yah, that's Micke Fredriksson's steering setup isn't it? His legs go up past the a-arms so it's probably the only way to route it.

Wonder if there is noticeable slop?

would have surely been easier to get different uprights so the rack could be mounted in front of the axle line rather than behind it?

Surely there must be an alternative rack out there that can be used so you are starting from the right (read wrong!) side.

if the joints are all new and well made then slogger should be controlled. I cant help thinking that the tortuous route could lead to wear over time. Looks a tad complicated for a sports car.

His seat is in the middle and the fuel tank is in front of him. Steering arm position wouldn't make any difference it would still have to bend. He's probably doing what we all do, making the best use of the materials to hand. It's passed Swedish equivalent SVA so it must be alright.

yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Hi,

Can't quite make it out.

Do you sit with your legs in front of the axle line?
