Are you thinking of going with that instead of the TCP rack?

Too Late For That.
I Just Thought It Was A Cool Setup. Its The First End Take-off That Uses The Center Section Like Tcp's Center Take-off. Its Only A Prototype Anyway.

I remember when Hakan was working on this. There was along thread here at least a year ago which covered many steering systems, and HAKAN was a regular poster on it, and described his work. Good to see it done. A new twist on the concept, almost like using the Cavalier rack. But, since he is in Sweden, I think he used a SAAB or BMW rack as his basis. Nonetheless, very cool to see one of our own going for it!

Yes it is the same Håkan. His new web site just went live within the last week. That prototype is really a neat piece. The center link mount seems to be the ticket on reducing Bump steer to an acceptable level.

Very nice!

Håkan is a cool guy. The site looks really great. Looks like he's using the Fast Forward Fastback in the banner at the top-right. Maybe a no-no.

Also, it should read: "Bringing the early mustang into the 21st century at the bottom of the home page.

Not being picky, just trying to help. (now where did I put that Swedish flag smiley...)

Thanks all!

Sorry about the confusion, but I have just "killed" my old site and redirected the traffic to my new.

Blake, yes you are right and thanks for the spellcheck! Fixed that and the banner.
