    OK I got the pics and the measurements. I cut 1 1/2" off the outside tube and 3 1/2" off the inside tube. Here are the pics of the install.

    How did it steer? I've been working away, building my own cavalier rack conversion, for a little while now. I've modelled mine after the Steeroids kit, used at the Mustang shop I hang around at...

    I am a long way from driving it. My 6 month project has turned into the marathon project, going on 4 years now. But even without the power steering pump it seems to steer pretty well with 26X8X15" tires on it.

    My mav steered like a dream after the cavalier install, so nice and solid. Gone are the wandering and constant wheel wagging, and NO more leaks!! Well worth the time and effort!!

    Dave, how much if any steering radius did you lose?
