I will take some 1.5" aluminum plate and make another Triple tree for each fork set, having a steering arm as part of it. The steering arm, extending off the inside end of the new brackets will protrude to the rear, and toward the centerline of the buggy, providing Ackerman in the steering. The steering arms will be connected with a tie rod, attached to the bottom of the arms with Heim joints, allowing the Toe to be adjusted, A rack and pinion steering box will be mounted above the tie rod and attached to the top of the steering arms, with a steering shaft going back to the steering wheel. I am in contact with a "Famous Golf Cart Racer" for help on making my motor more powerful. You may have seen the video of his "Drag Cart" flipping over backwards at a Drag Strip. The Team is Shock Therapy Racing, and hold the record for "Golf Carts" at 6.5 sec at 99 mph for the 1/8 mile, their cart makes about 260 HP out of the "Stock" motor.
