mine are from Rally Design & fit like a glove,
check the internal depth of the thread in the extension in relation to the length of thread thats on the actual steering rack, they may not be matching.

the mushroom is to sit fully into the upright with the offset hole towards the front of the car.

hope this helps.

thanks, i got the rack extensions from rogue engineering(the company from ebay that selss the bosses for the top wishbones). the depth of the tread is long enough, and the extension moves on the rack freely, but as i bought a used mk2 excort rack, the part of the thread that previosly didnt have any track rod ends on is abit stiff so its hard to screw the extension on any more as the rack arm just spins as well then.

ok, ill rotate the mushrooms tomorrow and hopefull put the front wheels on and engine mounts in. Thanks!
