So, coverting a LHD 2.0 16v xsi to a gti6. My customer would like to have the gti6 steering rack so the nearside wheel doesn't rub on the box. Three Questions... 1) Can we put a stop on the original xsi rack? 2) Can we use a RHD rack from a gti6 and convert it to LHD? 3) Where the feck can we get a LHD rack for a six? Thanks in advance.

The turning circle isnt limited on the rack. Its limited to the length of the ram. You take the ram off a 6 and turn full lock right it will rub  |

Okay, so by the looks of things we should be able to use the six ram on the xsi rack?________________________________________ www.krisb.co.uk |

The problem is that the car has to go through the Israeli MOT before it'll get signed off and be allowed to be driven in the country. I'm thinking of just putting a stop on his ram somewhere/somehow ________________________________________ www.krisb.co.uk |

You could slide a metal collar over the rack bar on the os to reduce lock |

no, over the actual rack bar, or you could use a rhd 6 ram and re route pipework |
