SP12M "Option Ballraced Steering Blocks"

[Glenn Atterton]

Have them on mine but unsure what the different effects the 3 hole would have on the steering. Wrote to Corally and here's Sakke's reply,



Option steering block has smaller distance from king pin to front axle. That gives more steering and quicker steering response.

Different hole setting for steering link gives different ackerman angles.

Basically closest hole to king pin (#3 in picture) gives less steering response (smooth steering) and #1 gives best steering response and #2 is between 1 and 3.

I use always option steering block and most of time #2 position for steering link.

Glenn, you should also note that the arms heights are different - bump steer control.

I did wonder about the different hole positions and the the fact that the arm is off set height wise.

As we look at the picture, am I correct in saying that the arm is on its low side and basically the closer the hole to the king pin, the less steering response?

[MikeS]

Sorry Brian, it would be the opposite - the closer to the king-pin the more faster, the steering reaction.

Cheers, I think I will have little play with the positions now that I have an idea what will happen.
