from what i hear the moggie thou racks are very good, and fast action as well. also narrow track.

Like the mini they steer behind axle line not infront - so would end up with clown car steering.....

Hmmm......think i may have spotted a problem there.

After taking well over a month off from the car and being thoroughly fed up with the way the weather has been etc. and just not having motivation for anything I am starting to get back to things.

Been out spending money again - retail therapy is a wonderful thing - this time on the electrical side - enough crimps and bits to re-wire a couple of cars and a new soldering station and a third hand!

I was hoping that the Stafford show would give me a boost and hoped to get the electrical and wiring stuff there but came away even less enthusiastic £10! - I felt violated

Loads of jobs to catch up on and stuff to do

Sorry Andy no spare motivation at the moment, need some myself

You know it will be worth it once that V8 in the chassis and rumbling into life thou

Getting a little motorvation back - cleaned the garage out to give myself a bit more working room and started the undoing work so that I can put in the new rack mounts.

Finished John (Jaybe's) wishbones and did measuring and drawing up of the mounts for the Volvo rad.

Also bought a load of cheap castors to make up a couple of sets of wheel dollies for moving the car about on - one for mine and one for a 1927 Crossley

Next job I really need to sort out is the handbrake which could be a bit of a pain.

Cheers

A bit of useless info on steering racks.

What Ginetta did on the G12 - not sure about the G4 to improve the bump steer situation with the triumph geometry is to use the Mini rack - however the trick is to get a left had drive rack and then mount it upside down.
