[python] Re: steering

Thank you, Carl
Great idea with the  male thread. I didn't even know what you call this stuff in my native language, I only knew that my kids use it when they build LEGO technical models LOL.
Do you by any chance have a close-up picture of your arrangement of swivels?
Thanks again
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
  I've used 12mm on the Python I'm building, should be strong enough, some people have used 10mm, personally I would only use 10mm if they were spaced a long way apart, say 25cm to reduce the loads on them.  Also the one in you picture has a female thread (needs a bolt), if you use one with a male thread it will take nuts then you can make adjustments to the steering angle.  Generally the size of the thread matches the size of the hole in the swivel.

A short question: if I do not use a BB for steering joint but something like this: (or rather two of them one above the other) what dimension should they be (diameter of the axis to be pushed through the hole)?
Thanks for any suggestions!
Stefan
