I'm new to this sight and I feel like I have hit the mother load. I'm sure there are guides or diagrams for placing the cables on the wheel drum and for stringing the cables through the rail and pulleys in your vast library but I have missed them. It's aggravating keeping the cables wound tight on the steering drum while adjusting the cables to the motor. Also, what is the name for the pulley mount in the rail. I broke the plastic pulley and must either replace the pulley, if I can find something that will fit or purchase the whole bracket if tha'ts possible. Thanks

the pully mounted in the rail is a 90 degree pully, hard to find cheap, but here is a good site that sells racing quality parts.

once you wrap the steering cable onto the hub, use painters tape or duct tape, to keep it wrapped until you get the stern connected. Once your ready to tweak the tension, take the tape off.
