graeme Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hi Neil.  I have seen racks like that, I guess just a poor casting.  Cheers  Graeme Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hmm pinion side is the same as one I have here, its the other end thats different, I havent seen one like it down here.Obviously different casting and may actually have been originally designed for something else and possibly substituted sometime in the cars life.

Mark69 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 What are the advantages of having solid mounts on the rack. Â Love the colour Neil must have a word when I get to that stage. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peejay4A Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I agree, having tried rubber and solid I find polyurethane to be a good compromise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stillp Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I agree, having tried rubber and solid I find polyurethane to be a good compromise. Do you still need to compress the mounts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 The poly ones went on without difficulty. The body was off though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Do you still need to compress the mounts? You will find they dont compress like the rubber so just compress a bit to stop any movement. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
