Yes, the rack is parallel to the chassis cross-member, and both ends should be centered in the bellows holes. If not, I would check your chassis very carefully for accident damage, front to back. A few hundred dollars spent at an alignment/frame shop is money well spent, where things are tweaked. I can't think of any other reason why there would be such mis-alignment. What car, and do you have...
Rob - I suspect they are 'generic' shafts that fit many carbs, for each of which there is a slightly different spacing. Just measure the distance sticking out on each side of your existing carbs, and duplicate those dimensions once the shaft has been replaced. You probably know all this, but I assume you are also re-bushing the carb bodies, where much of the wear occurs. There are those who use...
Can someone tell me if the steering rack is supposed to be level/parallel to the crossmember? The right side of the rack lines up with the center of the dumb iron opening. This is the low side. The left side sits somewhat higher in relation to the dumb iron opening (not enough to obstruct anything). There appears to be some damage to the left mount bracket on the crossmember. Oddly it seems that s...
Thank you to those who responded. The 2 studs that have lifted are on the top right hand side door plus the one above on the mudguard The pegs have no wood to bite into and they are of a self tapping type.
I think the bamboo or a wooden raw plug may solve the problem.
Hello Pascal yes still looking for one and that looks like what I'm after. I'm assuming they're all the same. Could you please send me an email gdh240 at hotmail dot com thanks.
Of course it is a pain if a head stud fails but it does not lead to a catastrofic engine failure. Where a broken rod or flywheel bolts can lead to either a hole in the block or your legs in pieces.
Again add: Chance of failure to result of failure.
I find it fitting that it was from this site that I found and bought this car in 2002. It has been a joy to own and drive. I've met wonderful people along the way, and enjoyed meeting strangers as they admired the car.
Alas, family changes mean it is time to sell. I'll post pics later, or email me directly.

Buying a cheap car can be very easy these days. If you are a new young driver and looking for a bargain then visiting a second hand car website would be the most efficient option.
