Steering Rack Packing

Thanks for the advice on the packing material. I put paper gasket material
in this spot in 1975 which was the last time the car was this far apart.
Nothing was left of the paper when taken apart this time. In addition to
unwanted movement of the rack there was a startling amount of rust as a
result of direct contact of the aluminum bracket to the steel of the rack.
Vinyl electric tape should handle both problems. Thanks!
