I've got the rack and pinion gears already. Now I want some ideas on how to put it together.
I asked Small Parts for a catalog, and all I got was a gift catalog, with no small parts in it, just tools and lava lights and such. I'll look at ebay, but I doubt if they will be giving any real closeups on the rack and pinion mechanism. Thanks. Dwight ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip J.
