[Tigers] Fulcrum Pins

[Landcmitch at aol.com]

Everyone knows (by now) that the incorrect ackerman angle places enormous  
stresses on the front suspension, especially when backing and turning.   This 
was not a concern when the system was designed for the  Alpine steering 
mechanism.
 
Over twenty years ago I was acquainted with Lou Anderson, who lived in  
Vista,CA (north of San Diego) while he was developing his Ackerman angle  
correction kit.  I bought and installed one of the first ones (from C  AT)and it is on 
the car today, never giving any problem.  Basically, what  it does is put a 
kink in the steering rods which straighten out as the wheels  are turned, 
reducing the amount the outer wheel turns and increasing the amount  the inner wheel 
turns.  At 20 deg. inside the outer is 17 degrees which is  perfect.  There 
is an article in Tigers United about the kit.
 
Does anyone out there have this kit still installed?
