MK Indy Uprights and Steering
What does MK actually do to the Sierra Uprights and Steering rack? Is it just widening the bottom hole in the upright, and would it be better to use
an Escort Steering rack over a modified Sierra item?

I believe it's magic!
The rack body is shortened and the arms extended with a screwed on "piece"(welding is a no-no on track rods for SVA and MOT)
Using the modded Sierra rack eliminates bump steer.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

the steering rack outer casing is shortened, the rack itself is shortened(not a hacksaw job then retapped with the kit you get a pair of extensions to
bring it back up to standard sierra track, this is all to do with bump steer and i'm not getting involved in that subject I know f all about the
subject all I know is martins done the sums and you won't get any dimensions off me and I doubt off any-one else Martins had too many of his
ideas ripped off just read some of the posts.. the top of the sierra upright has an exentric (just like martin) sleeve so you can alter the
camber/caster angle

Cheers for the answers, looks like I will go for the basic kit rather that just by the chassis and wishbones.
.
Need to finish the garden first though, as that the agreement with the better half.
