    You are definitely on the right path. High steering arm → straighter drag link → pitman arm. If you figure out the geometry to match the bump-to bump to the steering turn-to-turn when you do the steering arm, you can install a steering arm length to match your pitman arm... And then you won't need to change the pitman arm. But the ideal set-up would locate the high steer tie rod joint where it minimizes bump steer for on-road driving (static ride height), and then the pitman arm would be designed to match that.

    I used to have a 1964 international Scout, and one of the necessary upgrades was power steering. I used a Saginaw steering box with an Isuzu power steering pump and reservoir. It sure made my drive handle better. The fun part was drilling the hardened frame.

    Just a thought for the editor (in case you didn't already have a heavy workload). 🙂
    When Robbie snaps his fingers to jump to "tomorrow", I envision that an accompanying sound effect would add an extra dimension to the production. Exactly what - (siren, cowbell, oogah horn, breaking glass, etc) - would be for someone else to determine. Have fun. I am. 😊

    Robby on your vw trike, you might want to use a 1.4 VW TDI engine. Of course its drive by wire, but the neat thing is, you can get 75-90 mpg on it snd still have fun. Your source for that engine might be eBay UK. Those engines can be had for about $2-300, and the ECU is dirt cheap. You'll also need a throttle pedal and a wiring harness.

      Why not a 1,9 td from an old VW rabbit, or the 1,6? No electronics to mess with. Exept 12v to the pump and glow plugs? The adapter plats from a VW transporter T2 diesel will be a direct fit. That would be the thing i would do.

    What I would have done is use the pipe. Drill out the frame bushings to the outside diameter of the pipe. Cut the pipe to match the length of the bushings already in the frame. Weld the pipe to the frame bushings and you have a strong mounting for your steering box.
