Hi Jon,
I will speak to Alan and see if any drawings etc might be available. My bits were supplied and fitted by Alan about a year ago but I’m not sure if he still has parts or any plans to continue supplying them.
Basically it involves fitting Rose joints and extending the steering arm by 20% which lowers the ratio and helps reduce bump steer. On my special, previously, a bit of rough road would have me all over the place at speed but with this mod it steering gets a bit more predictable. Some would say this lessens the experience of driving an Austin Seven and I have kept the original bit on a shelf — but I shall not be putting them back on the car in a hurry!
