[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 88686, member: 1523"] Finished up the steering setup today and some other things too. Used the mill to make the bearing plate and bolted it to a chunk of 1.5" angle so I can remove it if needed. The arm is stainless and I get around 160` of turn on the wheel lock to lock like this. Now on to the throttle... [img]https://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z291/Ranchero50/Boat/Seadoo%20Swap/DSC06579.jpg~original[/img] Also slightly off topic, I made a pair of side guide for my uncles '01 Ranger Cherokee. Made them out of some scrap 1.5x.125" angle and some 2"x.125" square tubing, again scrap stuff. Drilled board mounting holes every 6" along the angle. [img]https://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z291/Ranchero50/Boat/Seadoo%20Swap/DSC06583.jpg~original[/img] Used a sawzall to notch the top of the stands and then bent the flaps up to close the gap and welded it solid. Turned out pretty nice. Decided to put these on to help keep the fenders from getting mangled...
