RALLY DESIGN QRACKS?
I want a quick rack and i see rally design sell the kits for them. i am sure mine is a sierra rack but i need to find out 2 things before i order.
1: is the mk indy sierra rack moddified for this car (except extension)?
2: how are the track control arms fitted? i pulled one of the guators off last night but i cant tell if they are pressed in or screwed on. In other
words, can i diy this from the kit of parts rally design sell.
Anyone?
Sorry about my spelling, im an engineer and only work in numbers.

1. MK indy sierra rack is cut to make it narrower and re welded.
2. I beleive they are screwed (so to speak)

I bought my quick rack through MK. They fitted it when they modifed the rack.
Call MK and see where they but it from?

doubt they are cut and welded 
more likely cut and rethreaded but yes you will need it shortening

Can't believe it's taken this long!
Would imagine that it'll make a great difference.

NO SORRY
I'm a 'Can Do' person.
If you have access to a lathe, a welder, and a hacksaw, this is a job any man building a Locost from scratch, 'Can Do'. Even the ali
housed racks can be home done with a press fit sleeve and pins/tapped locating bolt, instead of a weld.
As the head of the engineering dept. told us in that first lecture, all those years ago,...
'As engineers, there's nothing you can't do. You've just got to work out how'.
Cheers,
Syd.
