Steering rack group buy
 
I am looking for a steering rack for my build and have been onto a supplier who have quoted £110 delivered if I buy 10 racks

So who would want a rack at that price seems ok to me as its not this chinese rubbish that you get about

They are available in LHD is well as RHD although if your outside the uk please let me know and I will ask about shipping to you

Got any more details Dave e.g. ratio, thread on the end of the arms, are rack extensions needed, is it shortened to totally remove bump steer etc.?

They are just standard racks although I will ask about having them modified to suit what threads body lengths track arm lengths etc are people looking for

Dave...a standard 2.9 rack from Rally designs comes in at £86.80 inc vat and postage

Oh ok will give them a call and ask a few questions cause I just dont want a cheap chinese one

I have one of Rally Design's Escort racks, 2.9 ratio. It's good quality. You can buy a new 2.4 ratio Escort rack for £110 plus delivery.

TBH, I think people would only be interested if the racks were shortened to eliminate the bump steer and probably the ends lengthened to remove the need for extensions (so in the case of the MX5, increasing the length by about 100-125mm each side with a M12x1.25 thread on the outboard side to take a MX5 TRE).
