Steering Rack

Mounted up the steering rack after cleaning up some of the casting marks and painting gloss black.
The rack sits into 2 prefabriacted mounts on the chassis cross tube.

The rack is a reconditioned VP power steering unit with VZ tie rods and tie rod ends.








The rack fits in with out modifications to mounts or casting.











The mount provides verticle adjustment with shims for bump steer control.











The rack input shaft needs modifying by grinding 0.5mm off each face (15mm down to 14mm overall) to fit the steering shaft universal joint.
(Supplied by Classic Revival with a custom intermediate shaft.)
