What is this for?
There is a threaded hole in the frame above the left-side radiator. Anyone know what it's for? Frame mounted steering damper?

Re: What is this for?
On second thought, maybe it's for a dampener?

The left upper radiator bracket bolts to that.

It is not for a damper, I dont think. The angle is all wrong for that.

Sandurz: Prepare for light speed.
Helmet: No, no, light speed is too slow.
Sandurz: Light speed too slow?
Helmet: Yes, we'll have to go right to...Ludicrous speed!
Sandurz:Ludicrous speed! Sir, we've never gone that fast before. I
don't think the ship can take it.
Helmet: What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz...CHICKEN?!
