Title: LH Torana Rack and pinion Post by: nicko on July 30, 2004, 12:16:36 PM does anyone know whats involved in fitting a LX -LH Torana rack and pinion to HR crossmember in an FC?

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.

Title: Re: LH Torana Rack and pinion Post by: Ed on July 31, 2004, 02:12:40 AM 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 Ed |
