Re: TOY: SASer's steering box Question

I reinforced both sides of the frame. It actually makes the sleeves fit
better it you ask me. I used 3/16 plate. I also left a tab at the top of
both plates for the upper bolt to go through, then I added material so the
the upper bolt mount was flush with the plates. It works real well.

Correct:

     Sleeve the holes and plate the inside of the frame at a minimum:

Running up Walker Hill w/ one bolt holding the steering box on is
interesting!
