Hmmm.. Not all going to plan.

Looks like the double D input shaft on the VP commodore rack is not standard. It's the correct diameter 3/4" but it's a bit wider accross the flats. I've dismantled the rack and I'll machine the flats on the input shaft to match the steering uni. This was a bit of a downer last night.

My belts also worked out to be about 20mm too long. Fortunately the bearing supply I got them from where really god and have exchanged them for some shorter ones. They should be in tomorrow.

Hopefully have better luck on the weekend.

cheers
