David Edwards Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I purchased a rack and pinion conversion from Glen Hewitt at Protek some time ago and i am only just now putting it together. Its is a relatively straightforward procedure but I need some advice re- the setting up of the steering levers. I am aware that the left and right lever need to be transposed but I could do with some advice regarding the sequence of spacers supplied by Protek and the length of the bolts required to effect the increase in angle. Did Glen ever supply written instructions? I have contacted Glen who has been most helpful but I am very much aware that people earning a living in this business have a limited amount of time to answer foolish questions. It would be good to have a diagram or some basic instructions so I did not have to trouble anyone beyond this forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hi David, should you get no/little response on here why not contact your group leader and find out if your local group has a car fitted so. It may be more helpful to see it assembled. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigmalcy Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 David Not sure how similar your conversion kit is to the Moss supplied variant, but here's the extract from the Moss instructions which relates to the steering arms: Swap the LH and RH steering arms, i.e. offer the LH one up on the RH side reassemble these back onto the upright, the originalway up, using the original spacer and bolt at the front. Fit the new spacer and longer bolt at the rear, and tighten fully, ensuringthe locktabs (106641) are effective. You can download the full instructions for the Moss kit from their website - just Google 'TTK3000_INST.pdf' Hope this helps Malcolm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Essentially you need the track rod ends to be as close to the back of the disc as possible without fouling to give you the right amount of bump steer and lock. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MCOOPER53 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Can you not just ask Protek Engineering or have they gone out of business? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 He has stated he doesn;t want to unnecessarily repeatedly bother Glen. And yes they are still in buisness. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
