Redesigned steering rack support assembly
Hello everybody,
Yesterday, I fitted the steering rack support on my chassis. As I'm very happy with it, I wanted to share the pics with you. I ordered the assembly to Madis (on this forum) among other chassis plates. Madis redesigned this steering rack support in a stronger assembly, and I think the result is great.

That looks neat, is it to the correct version f the dimensions?
It's good that people are re-engineeering parts to make them better. And make building easier. TT

Yes exactly the same dimensions. Just the supporting plane is 2mm lower than in the book to allow tolerence for fine tuning of the steering reck height (and eliminate bump steer). This means that if anything is correct then there needs to be just 2 mm strips under the steering rack clamps. But if needed then you can lower the st rack.
Thank you for the comment |

Nice work
I like the design aspect of that revised steering rack support
Thanks to Voucht for sharing the photographs & thanks to Mopple for sharing the design. For my own personal taste, the book spec steering rack support does indeed look a bit flimsy & was one of the areas that I was intending to rework. That said, I am not saying that the book set up is wrong.

Similar to the 3mm plate for the clutch pedal, i would always recommend that people use 5mm plate for these as 3mm is too flimsy for the clutch effort needed. Cheers....AndyH
