im not sure of your one. but there is a NSW guy who sell the brackets you weld to the rear of your cross member to bolt up the power steering rack and it sits nicely with the sump. i used a couple of his and never had a problem

From memory you can use a HQ-WB sump with a rear mounted rack on HK-HG. Anyone confirm/deny??

Jvanner this is one of those kits and i would have to take an inch or so off the bottom of the ht sump and HK i have tried a hq sump and would have to take a fair bit out of it too, the only thing i can think that may be different is i have used hq mounts which may be a tad lower than ht mounts but not a big enough difference to help with clearance, any one got any pics with the engine in place?
the rack sits a lot closer to x member than the original drag link

Thats not good for geometry. The rack & rod ends should be in the same location as the original linkage otherwise bump steer will be horrible. Dr Terry _______________________________________ The best argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter. |

v6 conversions supply a modified oil pan(sump) to suit a rear rack for v6 so they may supply a red motor one also? Edited by user Tuesday, 30 March 2010 6:57:38 PM(UTC)
