Here is a pic showing my latest play with the steering system.
I have lowered the rack so the bottom of the rack mounting bolts are level with the bottom of the front crossmember ( I welded a plate straight of from the crossmember)
It now sits approx 15 - 20 mm lower.
I have also bought a pair of titanium and teflon rose joints to replace the tie rod ends.
I am not sure yet if it is best to mount the joint on top or below the steering knuckle arm.
If any of the classic revival builders are thinking of doing this then dont shorten your tie rod until after all is done (if I am to use the rose joint on the bottom I am going to have to get 2 new tie rods as I have cut them as recomended but are too short now, they are ok if useing the original VL tie rod end though)
