You have the idea- and you can twist each end of the "Y" for straighter arm alignment.
I just went out into the cold!!! checked the bone yard for my last kart without a rack- you need to set it up with the ackerman alignment to reduce length on the arm and give you better travel at the kingpin. Our old Yerfdog non-suspension got that treatment and ended up with an awesome turning radius with less effort. I use a distance of 3"-4" off the pivot point(kingpin) to start and get closer on the Ackerman angle to decrease my turning radius if needed. The most important thing I found with achieving a true Ackerman angle is a fairly accurate triangle in relationship to the axle- this almost eliminates a "scrub" condition on a short wheelbase vehical.If you're not too frustrated at this point I think you'll get it where your daughter will be able to turn it!!!!
