          404,

          James i sent it to 3 companies to look at manufacturing a quick rack kit, all of them declined. 2 (including Quaife) said they didn't have the tooling required to do the job. The third said that it would be hugely expensive due to the complexity of the rotary valve / pinion shaft. So i never went anywhere with it. Still got the rack and pinion here if anyone wants it to try other leads out.
          I was looking into a steering multiplier / quickener but decided it was unneccessary on the road.
          Something like that would be pretty easy to add to your custom steering column set-up i recon James. If you used a 3 turn rack and a 1.5:1 multiplier you'd have a 2 turn rack without too much hassle

          What a pity as it is a great idea.

          While I know 034's rack is a LHD, is it any improvement over a LHD ABY, or is it just a factory LHD ABY rack for the lads over there that can't get a LHD ABY handy from Europe?

          Thanks for your efforts on behalf of the rest of us with Quaife and the other potential suppliers.

          Kind regards.

              David, this is by no means over yet
              I am talking to someone who will be able to build a quick rack - no question. The issue really is ratios and ultimately price which is what I am looking at with them
