SpeedMerchant pan car steering blocks

SpeedMerchant introduce their new pan car steering blocks for all on-road chassis with standard 1/8″ king pin. They sport the same geometry as company’s delrin blocks and are slightly lower in height than most of the available blocks for more variety in ride height and roll centre adjustments. Additionally the 4.40 ball stud is moved away from the king pin for more Ackermann options while a different axle trail takes away a bit of the twitchiness around the centre of the steering. They are designed for the use with SpeedMerchant’s machined front axles, come with 4-40 set screws and are available in black or blue anodising.
