rack and pinion on 02

[Michael Ghia]

The steering rack bolts to the body and the strengthening plates which it bolts to are already there on 1303's. These double as the strengthing plates which your steering box and idler box bolt to.
The only thing you need to add is the M10 captive nuts for the rack to bolt to.
The chassis frame head needs clearancing for the rack aswell as has already been pointed out. Once this is done, it is a real bugger to get the gearshift rod in and out so if you're going to replace that flaky old gearshift rod bush.. do it beforehand!!
