[Fot] TR4 (early) steering rack mount stiffening

[David Gott]

Hi All,
Thanks for the add!   Quick question:  my ‘62 TR4 has the tall, vertical steering rack mounts, and they flex a bit more than I like.   (Rack is solid mounted with aluminum blocks).   Before I reinvent the wheel, does anyone have a suggested method of stiffening these, where it won’t be an issue for access to anything else?   
I was thinking of making some diagonals that went from one side to the other, using the existing rack mount holes, and an open hole already in the base of the vertical piers the rack bolts to.   This way, it’s removable if need be, and gets rid of any torsional force- although sheer forces would still be at the base of the piers.
Thanks for any suggestions!
