Control arm positions
In a recent post by Stevie649 there are photos of his 1928 steering column clearly showing the control arms, presumably at rest. Looking rearward toward the steering wheel, the two arms are in the 1 to 2 o'clock positions. I have done fair battle with my control rods and arms (1930) and mine both point to 12 o'clock when both rod levers are full up in the start position. While my steering tube is still on the bench, what is the correct position of the arms ?

Yours are the same as Stevie's. Now I know what to shoot for. Thanks.

Re: Control arm positions
I think without being attached to their devices, they may over extend their reach a bit. On the two tooth, you can rotate a bit for final adjustments. Some rods are not the right length, which causes problems.

Re: Control arm positions
I am just re-assembling original parts, but with new springs, pins, and top bushing.
