The image on that page is the only one I've been able to find of focusing
link steering. What keeps the wheel from flipping upward?
I think I can imagine a way, but it doesn't seem to be included in the
image?
Do you know of any photos of this kind of steering?

Spring shocks keep it down. I was too lazy to draw those in. :)
I just found some more old photos of the car.

That sounds like what I was thinking, thanks.
Nice, thanks.
I found info on the Buddfab streamliner's steering that seems interesting.
Similar, but I think simpler:

Won't work with a rack and pinion though. But that's fine with me.

I would like to see a dwg of that special bearing at the top.

I'd also like to see it, but I'm pretty sure it's just a heim joint.

Here are some more old photos I just found while cleaning the hangar.
This is when it still had the American Motors supercharged V8.
Later a Lunar Landing rocket motor was installed.
Note the pressure recovery wheel pants long before they became fashionable
on the RV's and others. When Craig took off the rear wings and wheel pants to
save weight he crashed it at 400 MPH at Bonneville. Brave Speedlove cheated
death again :) The cockpit was built hell for leather stout.
