Im w/ Sandy as Im planning to install the kit next month. Tom Hall told me a
few things I need to know as I run 15" Minilites. The instructions talk about
elongating a hole in the MG steering arms so they will match the spindle and
orginal Tiger arms hole pattern. If there is something negative anyone has
experienced- let me know. I am considering having my machinest make an oppisit
side so you dont have to buy two sets of tie rod ends. dale took the short cut
i=when he engineered that as opposed to having threads oppisite on the other
side- of course maybe you cant make that thread bUT it seems that a machinest
can make anythread- cost might be the problem. I will let everyone know IF I
have that part made with opposing thread, then just one new set of tie rod
ends would work.

What is wrong with Dale's kit? It is not intusive (nothing tiger hacked),
parts seem to be had pretty easily, people seem to have very good results
with
it.

A couple of weeks ago, I got a phone call from Buck Trippel. He wanted to
know if I knew anything about the old Lou Anderson/C.A.T. Ackerman Angle
steering kit.
Yep. I bought one, and never installed it. It was buried
out back in one
of the sheds. I told him I'd dig it out whenever I was
excavating something
out of that corner of that shed and keep it handy if he
ever wanted to come
over and have a look at it.
Then, over the next week or
so, I started seeing questions about the kit on
the list, so there must be
something more than Bucky's curiosity going on
here. It was a nice clear/dry
day today, so this morning I went to the shed
and dug it out. It's a good
thing, too, cause-true to its heritage-the
vintage 1977 staple on the
installation instructions had nearly succumbed to
the rust worms!
Anyhoo,
after dinner this evening I scanned the instructions, took a couple
of
photographs, pasted it all into a Word.doc, and converted the thing into
a
.pdf file.
If you want a copy of the .pdf file, just let me know:

Before this topic fades to oblivion for another 10 years
I'd really like to
know more of the story... and wonder if anyone else
actually has one they
might consider parting with ?
A couple of gracious
'listers' have offered to send me some info by snail
mail ( thanks, guys )
but I'm still perplexed as to what it actually looks
like.
Does anyone have
any pics handy that they could e-mail...??
Curious in Canada...
