==Other design considerations== A few general observations: The straighter and more direct you can make your steering linkage, the better. There is an excellent article on steering linkage- [[Steering shaft assemblies from junkyard parts]], or you can order up the pieces from Borgeson et. al. Different columns have different output shafts, so check carefully before ordering. There are almost too many options here to discuss. It would be prudent to look at the steering linkage hookup, before deciding on the final rack location. You may want to align the steering sector on the rack specifically to clear headers, etc. Multiple intermediate steering links can be used, just follow the manufacturers guidelines on maximum angles, center supports, joint alignment, etc. [[Image:New_linkage.jpg|border|left|400px|]] <br style="clear:both"/>
