Hi
I use the Cinq/Seicento rack on the Furore & use extensions which have the Fiat thread at the inboard end & Toyota MR2 thread at outer end. They are both M12 threads & the extensions are around 7" long, for exact size/threads I'd need to fish the drawing out, let me know if it's of interest.

Hi Russ,

Yeah any info you have would be great, do you buy them in or get them made?
also why are you using MR2 on the outer ends?? better track rods??

The outer threads are for Toyota MR2 because we use all Toyota running gear - the only non - Toyota donor part is the Fiat steering rack!

Ok, got the drawing now, the Fiat (inner, female end) threads are M12 x 1.5, the outer (male) thread is M12 x 1.25, female thread goes 75mm deep into the extension, the male thread is 50mm in length, so they could be shortened a fair bit if required. The total length is 175mm end to end.

I've never found anyone making these, only other kitcar using the rack that I'm aware of was the MK Sprint, which became the Roadrunner Sprint/SR1 so I have them made for me, IIRC they are around £30ea
