[TR] 4A engine question

I have new round rubber mounts and had to shim them with some thick washers to keep the fan extension off the steering rack. If I need to change the fan belt I’ll have to lift the engine.

Subject: [TR] 4A engine question

How much clearance should there be between the steering rack and the front
fan crank extension?  On my recently acquired 67 4A, I have visible wear on
the crank extension from rubbing the steering rack.  I replaced both engine
mounts that needed to be changed with new round ones.  The car had a
rectangular one and a round one on the other side.  Go figure.  I now have
only .010 inch space between the rack and extension.  I suppose any amount
is good, but that seems small.  Thoughts?
Thanks,
