The old steering somewhat prevented hard driving and confidence, but this update makes a very positive difference.

Most brands don't change their steering feel, but I'm glad tekno is willing to make changes for the better.

Other than the ackerman plate, steering bellcrank and two 3x10mm screws, cutting out extra space in the body for the new steering needs to be done. I'd recommend getting shorter turnbuckles because I have them as tight as possible without digging into the pivitballs, yet still getting toe in.
Try cutting 3mm off each end, or grab links that are 6mm shorter.

I grabbed lunsford links 6mm shorter to do the conversion on my SCT.
