    Got my eccentric topmounts back after being machined down for slightly more camber/caster adjustment, thanks to Nova Ian.





    Also stripped down my steering rack for the Quaife internals:



    Poly rack mounts to be reused:



    All of it was quite easy, just unbolts. Found the best way to get the pinion out is a pair of mole grips and hammer it up and out:



    Out!



    Rack casing to fit my internals in to:

    It's dead easy, just remove the arms, undo the big tension nut, and the pinion comes out after removing a circlip.

    Yeah got the bearing back in, I modified the circlips too so they weren't touching the bearing when they rotated. (Remember what I was pointing out to you when I first gave them to you)

    Nah fuel tank is half paint strippered, that's one for a rainy day in the garage!

    Here's the topmounts before fettling. I think it's about 3mm taken off. It's Ian's mate that did it so PM him for more info!
