Actualy did some work + steering rack question

finally did some more work on the Indy today.
Rebuilt the calipers with service kits



Got the master cylinder bolted in and ran the rear lines.



Using one from a nissan from the scrappy, nice lightweight joby.
Have to see if it's up to the task with sierra disks though.

Now a question for you guys.
I remember reading something about the steering rack having to be collapsable or something for sva.



That's what i've got in mine, but I removed the corrugated sleeve at the top to fit one of pathfinders paddle shifts.

Will this still be okay?

Cheers
Ben

You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

the corrugated bit is the collapsable bit that is required for SVA, but there is still hope

you can get away with offsetting the colum by IIRC 17 degrees, which judging by your pics might be ok (please correct me if im wrong about the angle )


hope that helped

There are two collapsable features on the Sierra column (assuming that's what you're using). If you still have the telescopic triangular section then you may be covered.

Yup, the mc is a duel cylinder jobby, 2 outlets to both front and back.
Very light weight though, about a quarter of the sierra cast mc

Yup it's on the offside of the cylinder

Not even ordered the bodywork yet, need to flog the rover 200 to release some funds first hehe. Lines are in place to go through the side panels though.

indeed still got a grand sat in the bank for the engine, malc is hunting me one down, but the carb'd r1 seem more rare now.
Selling the rover will get some of the other expensive bits out the way, plus i'm reclaiming bank charges which will hopefully fund the rest
