Hi Robert,
The baulkhead panel mount does need to be changed as the position of the rack
shaft is
different from the chrome bumper to the rubber bumper.
What I did was weld in the new baulkhead plate, assemble the steering column
with the U
joint and install it. I cut off the orginal rack mounts. I made a jig out of
wood that
would sit on the garage floor and allow me to move the rack up and down and
change the
angle of the shaft. After mating the shaft up with the U joint and getting the
rack
height correct ( same as the chrome bumper one) , I clamped and tack welded the
new
mounts in. This all required a bit of fiddling but I was extemely happy with
the result.
I bought the new mounts from Triumph Rover spares in Adelaide, Australia, but
you could
make up your own easily.
Best regards,
Andrew
