Olli is out in his wheel alignment by a total of 6 deg. One side is -3, the other +3.

There are some components NOS on ebay that I am considering buying...mainly because things are not as easy to get as a mini...

They are the following....

and

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=140278541455

So would it be useful to have the above? I have multiple books, just can't seem to match a description...

there is also a tie rod, but I know that I can use that as they are non-adjustable and if bent...well, a new one won't go astray....and Mini ones don't fit...

I have just pulled down two steering racks and those items are not needed in an overhaul (unless they are damaged in some way)

Not all racks are the same - the two I have done are different sizes (diameter and length) and the kit I bought (from Karcraft) doesn't fit either. Apparently there were about 5 different sizes produced in the early days until they settled on the one size rack.
