Title: HR FRONT END Post by: TorqueFC on December 03, 2005, 01:43:58 PM hi guys. just need a few questions answered
what is available new for the hr front end? and where is it available from, and the same for the drag link also, how dificult is it to fit a hk colum with a hk gts steering wheel?, i just feel that the gts rim looks much better....anyone out there got a hk colum? hehe regards Darcy Title: Re: HR FRONT END Post by: mcl1959 on December 04, 2005, 02:00:10 AM springs, shocks, balljoints, bearings, rotors, caliper kits, tie rod ends all available from Bursons, Repco etc. Rares do a changeover drag link set up.
I assume you want to fit the column to a rack? It is pretty straight forward to fit a HK column to the FC. Very difficult to install a HK steering box though. You would be best to cut the FC steering column off the box and convert the FC steering box to take the HK column if you were not using a rack.

Yeah, but $400+ looks much better in your pocket! :o Title: Re: HR FRONT END Post by: fccool59 on December 04, 2005, 04:24:01 AM gee, i cant say I have ever looked at some ones pocket and thought " wow that $400 looks nice in that pocket"
But there are a lot of steering wheels around if you are prepared to spend $100 plus, you might find some 60's US muscle cars have wheels for the same or less and will probably fit.

(not in your face)

ken we will not be fitting a rack, but i was told that to fit a hk colum/box the hardest part is drilling a hole, as one on the box doesnt line up? then simply re inforce it? shane/leon , i know $415 is alot of $$, but the look of a hk gts rim in a fc looks the part!! ;D Title: Re: HR FRONT END Post by: mcl1959 on December 04, 2005, 09:28:30 AM One of the bolts doesn't line up - thats right, but it is fresh air - not over the chassis. So you actually have to build some chassis then drill a hole in it.
