Itbs the Flaming River Cobra/MGB rack. You have to move the rack mounts on the
front crossmember outboard 1 inch (each) and redo the steering intermediate
shaft. That rack comes with a B>b b 48 spline shaft so I got two of their
U-joints in B>-48 on one side, B>b double-D on the other, and their DD
intermediate shaft. The angularity of the upper U-joint is right on the limitb&
if I feel really ambitious at one point Ibll cut and regrind the shaft on the
rack so that I can reduce the angle between the two shafts a bit. I know that
Dale (and others?) have done a thing where they use an Alpine steering column
and then make a double intermediate shaft. This requires an extra support on
the frame rail. One could also use a double U joint at the upper end.
There are a few guys doing that electric PS column especially in England. I
havenbt had any time to look into itb& I expect that someone will show up at
SUNI with one.

Hi Theo,
What kind of rack did you install? FR must be "Fast Ratio"...
Sounds like you need that electric power steering column!
