Does anyone know where you can source the rack mount rubber bushes and u-brackets for the steering rack.

The rubbers can be bought from http://www.gtscougar.freeserve.co.uk/ and the brackets from a good Ford garage

cheers

If you plan to race it then you should mount it without bushes, either make something out of alloy or even weld brkts to the rack and bolt it up nice and solid, using rubber or even poly bushes you will lose feel,
bushes are for comfort on the road.
The rack i am using has no rubber mounts but bolts direct to the chassis...
