i,m going to make my rack mounts,i dont have any clamps or rubbers,is there a reason to use rubbers or will hard mounting be ok?

Mine is hard mounted and it seems ok to me.

I think rubber mounts are meant to isolate vibrations etc in a 'civilised' saloon car and have very little use in our type of cars. Also the less anything can move - i.e. suspension mountings, steering rack etc. the better and more precise will be the handling etc.

Cheers

I like the way my chassis has been designed (Luego) allows for easy adjustment

The ally rack mounts shown on the Luego are from Rally Design. www.rallydesign.co.uk

I made some clamps from 30x3mm strip and used a strip of lorry innertube wrapped round the rack a couple of times for the rubber.
