| Re: 1:6 Willys GI Joe Basic Build Exactly how I did them on my Orange Jeep. The hood has never popped open during any of the roll-overs.

thanks guys! my other question involves the dash and top. after cutting off the hood there is only one original mounting point for it. are you guys adding one one each side where it comes down and meets the body? thank carl

The TLT brackets are no longer available, they stopped making them. Anyone have any suggestions for easy link mounts? I've looked for ideas in Tractor Supply and the local Ace hardware and I cant find anything that would be easy to use.

| Re: 1:6 Willys GI Joe Basic Build Sorry I missed your question. I used the one original mounting "post" in the center of the dash, the edges of the dash have small tabs that lock it into the sides of the cowl area, plus once the hood gets hinged and re-attached when you close the hood it helps keep everything in alignment.

In Zoso's video's the steering wheels and the dolls arms were moving with the direction of the steering, how was that done?

cut-and-paste from build thread... "So a couple hours of cutting, filing, drilling, tweaking, brazing, polishing and painting gets us a 1:6th copy of the old J.C. Whitney "chrome-and-foam" steering wheel... Much more stylish. And a more appropriate size. She's a lot happier with this wheel. 3/16" brakeline, bent to shape around a large bearing. The center is 1/16" sheet steel." | |

My setup in the orange Jeep is like the one ZoSo uses. If you read through the build thread for my orange Jeep, I showed step by step how I made the steering wheel, column and linkages. I used a full size servo, the micro ones just didn't hold up for me.

Thay would have to be at least 1" long on both sides. AR 60's are 9.5" pin to pin AX 10 are 7.25" pin to pin. |
