Datsun 510 steering with PF
a brief video (1 of 2) of the servo powering my steering design in the BRE Datsun 510
This design allows for the front wheels to turn tightly within the fenders of my latest MOC, my BRE Datsun 510. This is accomplished due to how each wheel's linkage moves. It hard to explain (for someone like me) but easy to see. This designed was inspired from study done a couple years ago by a builder named Ricardo Oliveira (www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJOTcZZSy4Y), but I had to modify it a lot in order to accommodate the Ackermann geometry, which I really wanted in my car.
This was the best I could do with the limitations in width and height set by the engine bay of the car. I'm positive the design could be improved upon, and that a tighter steering radius could be achieved, as well. Maybe someone else will take the time to do so. :)
