Quick Rack For A Classic - Help Required!

[rallyfever]

Hi All,

Still not found a replacement quick rack for the old rally car and am running out of time, does anyone know where I can get one for a reasonable price??? I seen one at ATM but it was a Group A Prodrive part and they were wanting £750 + VAT

I you know anyone who can supply one please get in touch, or if you have one - even better!!!

Cheers

Gary

I've got a newage jdm spec c quick rack on my classic.

The power steering connections are in a slightly different place but can be bend into shape with no problem. The main issue is the splines on the classic steering column and the newage rack are different. To get round this get a newage uj delivered with the rack (I got mine thrown in for nowt) and get an engineering company to swap the ends. I'd have to check but I seem to remember a brand new rack cost me £250 and the engineering company took £20 to modify the uj.

If you want any contacts just ask.

If you could give me the contacts and a blow by blow account of how it was done it would be much appreciated, can work on most standard bits - but not the modded engineering bits!!!

Cheers

For the new rack and the uj call Grade A on 01663 744114, ask them to throw the newage uj in for free.

For the engineering work I went to direct engineering on 01505 333999 but have also used wesy of scotland engineering on 0141 339 6746 and found them to be good too so you could just use whoevers closest.

The newage uj has a longer shaft so they cut the column end off my old uj then chamfered the shaft of the shortened new age ones shaft, this was then slotted into a hole bored in the centre of the column uj and welded up.

Couple of pics of the modded part
