Reply to "New top front arms"

Here is a picture of my new rack & pinion.
It’s made by Titan in the UK who make race car parts.
(Thanks to Johnny Woods for the recommendation).
Built to my specified dimensions.
Same ratio as the original Pantera, although Titan do have a great range of different rack ratios to choose from.
The reason behind this rack is I’m converting the car to right hand drive & I wanted a rack of better quality.
The distance between the rack ends is 2” shorter which corrects a great deal of the bump steer issues.
I had the tie rods made 1” longer per side to compensate, plus an extra 1” per side to obtain more thread within the tie rod end.
(Panteras don’t have a great deal of thread length inside the tie rod ends which I didn’t feel safe with).
Input shaft is a standard 9/16” 36 spline, so I can get steering uni joints from Flaming River in the USA.
The aluminium plate you see behind the rack is an adapter I made to adpt the slightly different rack dimensions to suit.
So the plate bolts into the chassis at the original rack mount points & then the rack bolts to the plate using the original Pantera saddle clamps.

Regards,
Tony.
