The steering linkage is still a problem.
Its all quite simple: a small Steering Box mounted on top of the frame connects with a short lever and rod to the wheel hub.
And then, theres one long link that spans the entire axle connecting the two wheels.
Problem is, that link is a solid steel rod, bent to fit around the differential.
Its scale size makes it only about 1.5mm diameter.
If it were a dead straight rod, you might be able to roll a lightweight paper tube.
(I could even up the scale size to 2mm to help).
But its not straight!
It has four bends in it! making it impossible to fashion out of paper.
At least for me, its impossible.
And impossible to put a paper part into this kit.
So...this will have to be an optional detail...and I'll include a diagram for bending wire or fine plastic rod.
Green coated (bendy) Florist's wire is 1.6mm thickness...perfect!
I'll try to include the necessary Tie Rod and Linkage connecting parts (made from paper).
But these will be very small parts.
I'll post pics once I get it sorted.
