Steering rack mounts
Hi guys
Ive just had my 2.4 rack delivered from rally design with a pair of alloy mounts.
The mounts have to random offcuts of plastic with them, one thicker than the other. I assume the rack sits on these whilst the mount obv. goes over
the top.
Do I have this correct as they are both and a few mm bigger than the mounts - I assume they need to be trimmed to fit?
Thanks
Shaun

The plastic bits go under the rack and between the brackets, I had to trim mine a little as they were too big.

Thanks for the replies!
Its more like a perspex square, but the one for the small mount is thicker than the other.

wouldn't perspex just shatter when tightened up? weird. looks like rubber on the rally design site. might try some from rubber, see how that
works

I also had to make up a shim to fit inside the larger of the 2 clamps as the rack rotated inside the clamps easily , made it out of a plastic ice
cream tub .
