Ian, if I can have your rack ASAP (read: tomorrow) then I'll more than happily buy you a replacement one when we find one - All I really need from it is the casing, but obviously I'll take the lot...
three posts in a row, I know - just thinking regarding that hole in the rack -its not going to be a gaping hole how it looks, as the hole will be filled with the end of the pinion...
I think apart from being a tad lighter they quite a bit stronger which is important for rallying which is what nearly all nova competition stuff has been developed for? Steering takes a beating in rallying.Quote:

Good work on the rack - I did the same as you - cheaper and just as good
Tad lighter, look cool, stronger as CP says, and a nice solid mount for the rack. I'm sure polybushes will be fine, personally I've never seen them tho!
Found some - thanks to Iain...

Annoying how I only payed £5 a set though!
Great write up for anyone wanting to change the rack up, good work.
Right, seeing as my rack quest couldn't go any further today with it being a Sunday, I turned my attention elsewhere, to something else that needed my attention... Internal Shifter & FIA switch wiring up
First off is to clear all of my Cesaros out of the sides of my garage so I can open the doors on my car... poxy single garage

The offending item

After the ballache of removing seats & harnesses, and masking & papering up windows and polycarbs, due to grindage... we had this

Removed, showing exposed exhaust

1mm thick steel plate cut to size

Not necessary, but I'm getting quite good, so I seam welded it up - tack welds would have done really

Then applied seam sealer & some paint, and udnerseal with Waxoyl underneath

Whilst that was drying, turned my attention to my battery earth that has to be yellow in accordance with the Blue Book

And whilst everything was masked up, and seat & harnesses was removed, I decided to lob out all the excess metal that I didn't get around to doing first time around, back seat brackets etc

Finally shifter in, linked up - and can get all gears spot on, thanks for my wife for the help!
