Nice when I can tilt the mill when I am notching the tubes

Deleted post ... saw the answer to my question in the photos.
 
Nice work, Chris. Some questions for you:

1. What are you using for the bushing material ... Delrin?

2. How much further forward are the spindles with the new A-arms?

Again, really nice work. ;)! The new (re-located) shock mounting bracket is a great idea BTW. I love seeing creative ideas like that come to life! Keep it up!
 
Some more pics

Made a tie rod( is that the namen?) of plastic to test

Then just to copy that into the aluminium one :)

And now I have to trim in the geometry to get minimum bumpsteer and changing of camber
