Default TRF502X ALi steering bridge, drag link

Ive been working on an Ali version of this part for a while as the standard plastic version was sloppy and weak.

The ballstud's also sit approx 5-6mm further forward to gain more initial steering, and are spaced apart 5mm more which means you dont need to dremel your gearbox for clearance.

The part can however be fitted the normal way round as per the kit item.

I currently have 2 machined up, but they take approx 3.5 hours to make meaning they would be expensive at around £30.

I have a few engineering shops who are currently looking over the drawings and hopefully we can get a small batch made up and retail out for around £20.

Just wondering how much interest there would be if we had a few made up?

This picture shows Mk.1 with ballstud's the normal way round with 1mm washers, but the link can be flipped with the ballstud's reversed to gain more steering.
