 Re: steering rack upgrade... Finally found a 'common' manual rack that I think can be modified to mount in the 2cv cross member. Daewoo Lanos;  And I found a LHD one for you jerky's on the wrong side of the rock    Now just need time to cut open a crossmember and make it fit... Also need to think about the gearbox mount...

Harley You have GS/LN gearbox already..? Use its own mounting, easy to make, one problem solved... good point Jasu, I don't know how the GS/LNA gearbox mounts to the chassis, only that I ground off the mounting bush on the endplate of my LNA gearbox... But I have a spare 1015 GS one. subarupete wrote: Idea.....Use a "Rear" axle tube Good idea! I hadn't thought of that. Harley

Re: steering rack upgrade... Another Idea:(..... Mount new Rack above or below axle tube, the geometry of the steering rods wont be that much different
<----------new rack ------------->
