Ford steering rack extenders for Viento.....
It looks like (unless I'm hugely mistaken) that the rack extenders I got from Luego with the kit 3 years back are too short. The problem is that
with the tracking set there could only be about 3.5 mm engaged on each side, and that's with the steering wheel not straight.
This is what I've done so far- With the nearside wheel set to parallel the steering rack end is actually out of the extender, (this is with the
steering wheel held straight ahead), with the off side wheel parallel the rack end is only engaged 7mm, hence what I say above as the 3.5 each side
being the best case scenario, and it really isn't enough.
The extenders are 110mm long and really need to be 120mm.
Ben Lord at Luego will sell me a 130mm set for £40 but I dont know if this in the only source? Any ideas?

I should assume that they should provide the correct ones with the kit and not ask for extra money to send the correct ones.

Careful here.,... the Viento ones are longer than the std Se7en ones, cos its much wider, and still uses the escort rack.
I would speak with Ben at Luego, he may exchange them for the cost of the postage. Certainly worth a try.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
