Here are some pictures after the weekend. We went from a concept design of the steering to the final working product in just three nights of working. Kyle, Colleen, and Jeff worked together to get it done, and it is working great! Check out the photos below (click on any to enlarge). Steering Motion Video (500 KB)  Saturday night...the tie rod is
finished and the HPV is outside for its first "test ride."
 Rear view of the completed steering.  Close up of the linkage. All of the parts need cleaning before painting.  Hand positions for steering. Notice the brake levers. They are not connected, but they show what will be working soon...  Rear view of linkage. You can see the angles of the tie rod and L bracket. ©2006 Jeff Bartels 4/09/2006 |
