Rack and Pinion Steering

[halg]

Here is the last of my front end mods. My fabricated cross member to hold the rack. The 69 has a solid steering shaft, so I installed a shaft from a 72, including the pedal support. I changed the brake pedal from the 69 into the 72(different clearance for the shaft). The center bearing bolts to the firewall using the original 3 screw holes that hold the rubber seal. The picture shows the Honda brakes, polyurethane bushings, semi coil over shock and spring and the rack from a Brava.

Looking very tidy, and very strong, as does all your work. I do wonder why rack and pinion? I just finished my suspension build today, and I was reminded of how much I don't mind our ball racks.

With my supercharger ocupying more room than the alternator, I had to make room for the exhaust. Removing the steering idler from the passenger side it allowed the hedder more leeway.

Good idea. And once again very clean. Pop over to my thread to see my car on 4 wheels Thanks again for your encouraging words, and information.

Hal, looks great. What is the bolt pattern that the brake rotors can now accept. 100mm x 4?

[halg]

The wheel bolt pattern is Fiat 4x98. Like the Fiat rotor there were 4 holes that could be used to hold the rotor to the hub, I matched those holes to re drill to 4x98, the 4x1oo I bushed and redrilled to 4x98 for the alignment pins or flat head screws to hold the rotor on. I can use my Borrani bolt on wire wheels 13x6. Those wheels are why i wanted to stay with 13" wheels and didn't go to a larger rotor. What I did is still larger than the Fiat rotor, and vented.
