Steering the the course.



Paul Dukes of HYDRA STEER arrived to meet with the Chris and Ben Olson of OTT INDUSTRIES. There was much discussion and several attempts to fit the rack and pinion steering with the front drive shaft and narrow differential. Eventually the rack & pinion was replaced with a standard steering box and conventional drag link and tie rod set up. All of which is custom built for the application by the two companies. Considering all the work, parts and time the OTT guys have put in this was the first time they had seen the actual car being constructed. They supplied the narrowed front drive and are building a 2:1 overdrive and also the rear hub mounts.
