Jabo, before you get offended by masteraxxholes post over at mbn, all you have to do is make a bracket that attaches to the ball joint, and the steering arm and relocate the tie rod end to adjust the ackerman angle, when you get that far ill help you understand a little better what i mean....

I was surprised, couple a-holes over there. Him and spec are like tweedle dee and tweedle dumb... No need for that kind of behavior. Forums are for helping people, spec wanted me to do it wrong... I don't know what your talking about with the ackerman angle and not sure what your talking about with the bracket.
Should I just try to switch the arms around and figure out the rack and tie rod position later?
I was really offended when I saw specs post thinking I copied his... They are not even close.

If you can switch them it would steer sweet, sorry i also hit the darn exlamtion mark when i was quoting you....anyhow, as is it will steer really funky, no ackerman is fine, but you will have excessive negative ackerman as is....

i wrote a tiny bit in there with a quote from a racing site. i figure the ackerman angle helps yes, but for a 6 year old with atv tires on the nose, no ackerman should be fine. negative ackerman will give a crappy steer I bet, tougher, but you can definately re-mount the steering rack, since that is not set in stone...right???
It is not mounted yet, I just don't have any place to put it but the front. Even if I could move it a little closer it would be in the way of the pedals.
