Like the M1070 tractor, HB make alot of components steerable, then either you have to glue pieces down, or they just aren't movable. One of the big things, is the fifth wheel steering coupler is attached an not movable, so if you have the trailer at an angle, it wouldn't work.

With abit of work, I've made the steering coupler moveable, and both dampers moveable. They are as close to the 1:1 as I could do.

Like the steering couplar, the steering module track rods that connect to the boogies, are also glued into place. The actual modules are free to move. This would allow movement on the boogies, but would cause binding, then eventually breakage.

So I've used 1.2mm rod and bolts to allow pivots.
