Decided to change the bellows on the steering rack today using Zach's modified design. when I found something unexpected , the mounting clamps for the rack can be fitted two ways, the two halfs of each clamp are different , so you can mount the rack slightly further forward or nearer the chassis,

On my 1985 car it had one 10mm forward of the other, meaning the rack was not square to the chassis, it must have been like this since it left the factory,(I have had the car nearly 40yrs and only me working on it). When I had the rack off previously I stamped the mounting blocks so they were mounted as they came off.

Its a mystery.. so should the clamps mount the rack nearest the chassis or slightly away from it?
