The obvious option would be to use a Holden subframe/front suspension/steering gear... but they have almost nothing in common due to chassis differences, hence the requirement to compromise/adapt the Omega subframe :y

.. or take a plasma cutter to the transmission tunnel. ::)
Can't possibly do that... ::)

FIRE.   ;D



As for the last question, I can't see it being a problem, but the pinion body casting is bolted on to the rack body casting with two bolts, and has a fairly large lump around the oil lines tappings.

These tappings are very close to the pivot point of the inner tre when on full lock. If I unbolt the pinion casting and turn it through 180 degrees and bolt it back up, so said tappings are facing in board and clear the inner tre ball joint,   will this cause a problem with the pinion or its hydraulics...?

I could post a pic to make it simple but where's the fun in that? ;D
