It ended up completely over-engineered for the role it plays, so I'll likely drill some holes in it to lighten it and make it look a bit less like something off a steam train. The reason I've made it is so I can screw a 5/8 rose joint into it to form one part of a sliding joint to support the steering linkage:
Although just mocked up there, that stainless steel bar will slide within the joint and allow me to put an extra pivot point for the steering arm in line with the point where the hairpins are attached to the chassis. In theory, this should cure the horrendous bump steer the car suffers from, caused by having the steering arm three times the length of the suspension arms. Let's hope the theory holds true...
