Welding of steering columns (shafts) is also a failure in NZ and can't be "certified" by an engineer either.
I would be curious to see what you have done regarding steering limiters. I gave this some thought a while ago, but can't remember if I came to a good conclusion
Are either of you able to share with us a measurement of the positon of the rack (eg its center) to a body component?
We didn't get 1303's out this way - other than private imports- and none that I've seen are late model ones.
Thanks
