limiting steering lock
Guys,
Just put my front wings on and noticed the brake flexies are fouling on them (only just, but more then enough to fail the car on....)
I've heard of problems with the wing stays fouling the track rods, and that somebody made some kind of limiters on the rack. Does anybody have
any pictures / drawing / other info on this?
just to be clear: my car is an Indy, with the MK shortened sierra rack
Cheers,
Sebastiaan

i made a couple of 1/4 in washers out of ally the hole is the size of the rack the outer diameter is the same as the rack casing .. when on full lock
it sits against the casing and the tie rod end hits it

Sebastiaan,
is it your brake flexis that are fouling or your track rod ends??
If its only your brake flexis, can you not twist the end where it goes through the side panel to keep it away from the wing?

It's the flexies. Being a cheapskate, i've used landrover ones, and these have quite a long metal piece at the end that goes through the
sidepanel. There's no way to change the flexies at this point without drilling new mounting holes in the side panels....
I think i'll try the "body a jubilee clip on" method for now. Sure these will misteriousely fall off somewhere in the near future
;-)
