it would work ok, but the steering arms are a part of the ball joints making it more difficult. it would also alter the amout of "toe in on turn"(ackerman) because of the angle of the track rods, maybe a good thing.<br>

In theory I think it may work But in practice no.<br>
<br>
Not only will it alter the Ackerman angle it will also affect Bump Steer.<br>
There's a few good book's on Steering Suspension design.<br>
<br>
You would need to make new arm's/Ball joint's any welded up part's may be a Failure for the MOT

The way things are going I'm unlikely to get the chance to open the garage door again before July!<br>

Daz - can you elaborate on the problem with NOS and wasted spark?<br>

I think the wasted spark was what caused Darren's inlet manifold to explode, as he had (Was it a small leak?) N20 in the manifold and the spark system lit the blue touchpaper and blew the whole thing to pieces?<br>
