does anyone know whats involved in fitting a LX -LH Torana rack and pinion to HR crossmember in an FC?
bugger all really.. nip up the 2 bolts.
im assuming u have suitable shortened rack and re shaped steering arms, available from usual places.
2 rack mounts made from RHS can be welded on front of x member, line up your pivots and steering knuckles and zap into place, then bolt it on.
little notch in the top of the x member to allow steering rod to pass.
"sgo" has described this in detail elsewhere.
i think it was called the ABC of steering or something like that.

i did not know the rack had to be shortened,i always thought they used shorter steering arms
i always thought so?
u could measure the dist between pivots on the HR x member, and see if this is shorter than the rack on stock LH/X.
I have a good article on how to shorten a rack if interested... if only I knew this earlier.
You could also measure up racks off other R&P steeer cars, to see which others may suit.
Cheers
