    Let’s get Jeff and Mrs Jeff to 250K!!! They deserve it, the builds, filming, editing, Fun Facts!!! Has it all!! Cheers from 🇺🇸
  • @E.T.GARAGE
    Glad you enjoyed the license plate I sent you and I am glad you got the steering on the Alfarrari fixed.
  • @300DBenz
    Good thing you’re replacing the tie rod ends, because the ones you’ve got on this episode are on the wrong sides!😮 (The bend in tie rod is supposed to point towards the pivot point of the wheel to avoid rubbing on the rim when the wheels are at full lock)
  • @glennmartin2403
    Just helped a mate unpack an Alfa GTV that has recently imported into NZ - we’ve both been watching this religiously. It’s the best kind of mashup done with the right sense of style and parts mix. Looking forward to the video of it being given the jandal!
  • Freudian slip with the hazards? Love your work, cheers. If you are having the steering arms CNC'd, won't you be able to pick the tapper, for the tie rod ends? Might make finding the perfect tie rod ends easier?
  • @henrytomai3884
    Nice job Jeff. Hope you can make another video of the design and CNC machining process of your new steering arms. And possibly 3D scanning and machining of the new rack mounting brackets as well.
  • @TimDawson67
    Yay - after several months of binge-watching, I've gone from the start of the build and caught up! Well worth it - very impressive project. Pleased you've got the steering issue sorted :)
  • @OMEGOOLIEBIRD
    Hi Mate, love your videos, I have followed a lot of your projects! Whilst you are changing the rack and steering arm lengths.... That could induce bump steer as the geometry will change .. Worth taking the springs off and setting up a rig bolted to the hub and watching the toe change, as you move the hub /suspension up and down...Maybe test moving the rack mount fore/aft and up/down and finding the best position with minimal bump steer. Hi from the uk!
  • @ronintres6757
    Yes, that is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, very educational and fun to see 🙂👍🏻
  • Awesome work Jeff! I do recommend doing a final bump steer check on the 3d printed parts before committing to the CNC arms, though. Although you think the rack is in the same spot (and inner tie rod joints are also in the same spot?), it is very sensitive, including how deep the taper is cut in the new steering arm.
  • @g0fvt
    I must admit that I was one of the people advocating the Escort rack, I did spend a while trying to find engineering drawings with the travel. As I know now I had overlooked the different rack positioning. I don't know what power steering you are using, over here in the UK the Vauxhall Corsa column is used by a lot of hotrod builders.

    (A wild 8-6 steering rack appears...) "Hachi-ROKU!!!!!"

    дивно, що у такого майстра стільки мало підписників ! Завжди із задоволенням дивлюся ваші відео !!! Успіхів каналу !!!
  • @gazzafloss
    Jeff, probably even today in some states of the US you could just prep and weld those steering arms, maybe do a Dye Penetrant or Mag particle NDT on the welds and drive away. Back in the sixties we did a 'cut and shut' of steering arm components on a mates 1963 Ford Falcon rally car, right there in NSW Australia. The old Falcons had way too slow steering for Forest Rally stages. Those modified parts never failed in service over many miles of Rallying and some heavy thrashing, there was no NDT done on any of it. Not saying that's a good thing and certainly not the done thing today.
