The Baja350 - a Dentside Story

[DesertGoat]

If that bolt is still keeping you awake at light, add a turn or two out to the radius arm heim. That should push your wheelbase out a little, enough to run a thicker headed bolt

it freaks me out, too. But this is the solution Cho offered.

The wheelbase is pushed as far forward as possible because I have ~the same clearance to the pitman arm bolt at full lock in the opposite direction.
so the only other option would be to bend the tie rod, cut & move the steering box forward to get more wheelbase, or cut the steering crossmember into the engine crossmember. None of which seem palatable.

couple more firewall & floor bits added in.
Need to start the other side & figure out how the heck to do the trans tunnel

Looks good from my personal experience. Get the gas pedal and everything set up where you want it and then build your trans tunnel. Since I built my trans tunnel first and then needed to change it, so I had a little more room for, my gas pedal set up
