20:1 in c-body and a smaller steering wheel. no problem.
had the "normal" coupler in before and
switched to a flaming river coupler. steering was much easier after.
the flaming river coupler was a BIG improvement!




Interesting that the change from a coupler to the flaming river universal joint actually made the steering effort significantly easier.




I guess it was to a non optimized steering geometry.
sometimes (with the old couplers) the insulator felt off
and the alignment never looked 100% straight.
i think it went better because the flaming river one
uses a universal joint that compensates this miss alignment.
last weekend we had the biggest car meeting in north germany
and i tried the super bee from a friend. 24:1 with the
original steering wheel and the normal coupler.
it was as heavy as mine to steer. big surprise for him.
