Sierra steering rack
anyone used a sierra rack? the PAS flavour one is 2.5 turns lock to lock - wondered if the internals (ie - the rack ad the gear on the shaft end)
could be used in a non pas case, as the non pas model is 4.5 turns lock to lock 
cheers

There was some discussion of this before, and the concensus was that it probably wouldn't pass SVA given the normal "if it's there,
it has to work" approach.

2.5 turns to lock with no assistance is gonna be pretty hard to turn! except the car is quite light i guess...
could be something to test post SVA?!

Whats the optimun rack spec ie turns lock to lock, is there anything that you can use as standard or is it a specialy made rack. If so where to get
one from and what sort of money are they.
Thanks Gordon
I'm sure I've got one, just don't know where I've put it

Rallynuts.com have got Sierra quick racks on order,I'll post more as,when and if I hear more...............
Sending an email to Nick at Rallynuts might not be a bad idea. At the very least it'll jog his memory.

why not just use the quick rack and not plug in the assist pipes, or is this not how it works? legally the steering has to work if the assist fails
anyway, same with the brakes.

need oil in the rack to keep it lubricated as there are pressure pistons inside it that need to be lubed to stop them sezing - so looping the pipes
will keep the oil in and lubed inside aswell

The Indy is the only one I know that uses it and that is a cut down version modified by MK on exchange. The standard rack body is way too long.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
