steering quickener

Zeb_kadett · 10-30-2007

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have experience with steering quickener for the Opel Kadett 1968, or Opel GT, these steering racks are the same I think.

Looking for a better steering response on the circuit race kadett.

Thanks,

Zeb

Which steering arm are you using? The Kadett arm is longer than the GT's, meaning the steering is slower on the Kadett.
Otherwise you want the little gearbox that goes in the steering shaft to speed up the steering action. They are in all the racing parts catalogs.

Hi Jeff,

The shorter arm is already mounted, do you have some links or examples of the gearing?

Thnx.
