How are you running no pas? Just disconnected pipes? Did you keep the ram? Did you cap the connections off?

I've bought a tensioner & belt to delete the pump but unsure how to run the rack effectively. Any advice appreciated..

hi phil , disconnected all pipes and turned wheel side to side to remove any remaining fluid , try and get a bit of grease in rack fitting with grease gun to stop running dry ,and just cap fitting to stop any dirt getting in rack ,I used plastic caps of hydraulic fitting , I removed ram as am only running five speed box with 4.44 cwp , as most tracks you wont need 6th gear , but you could make some rack stops so you can remove ram ,would not make small pipe and fill with fluid as will cause resistance in rack ,and end up feeling really heavy ,lhope this helps wayne

That's not a dimma/maxi mould, looks more like the "ice" wide body kit

haven't had proper look at arch moulds to see what they are

Defo not dimma, look at my thread, dimma is more rounded and smooth not square, the dimma archs are wider and higher (as in the wide arch stops at the filler cap opposed to the one in your pic which finish much lower than the filler cap)

Wide track is easy at the back, the front not so much, the wishbones and shafts will be the hardest parts
