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.</div>

<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">
<div class="PlainText">How much clearance should there be between the steering rack and the front<br>
fan crank extension? On my recently acquired 67 4A, I have visible wear on<br>
the crank extension from rubbing the steering rack. I replaced both engine<br>
mounts that needed to be changed with new round ones. The car had a<br>
rectangular one and a round one on the other side. Go figure. I now have<br>
only .010 inch space between the rack and extension. I suppose any amount<br>
is good, but that seems small. Thoughts? <br>
Thanks,<br>
