rwdrev Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 rite, i got the rack fitted tonight but come up against a problem. the gt column is obviously shorter than the manual version.....wish i had known this before the car that i got the rack from got scrapped. i will be putting a wanted thread up, but can anyone help me get over this problem. i dont want to re fit the p/s rack and loop the pipes as it will be heavy as f*ck. cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Unfortunately you have hit a big problem. Not only that but the spline size is different on the n/a rack. You will need the steering column complete to do the conversion properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 yeah, i also found that out. i think i might have a solution, but also waiting on a reply to see if some1 has 1. it is doable without the column, but, you need another gt column or p/s column, knock about some uj's and use the spindle from the 2nd column attached to a small splined uj....blob of weld and its sorted, but hoping i get an oem manual column.

turbo Grant Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 You need an adapter like what I've got. I will post up some pics and measurements tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 i am using the splined end of another column, swapped onto a small ended coupling, then make another end that needs to be a female joint to go onto the end of the column. il post a pic when i sort it all out, my first trial and error meant the splined bit was cut short, so now waiting on another column to come to canibalise again, lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
