Thanks to Karl and company, I got enough gumption to go out and try to remove the rack one more time. The universal under the dash was totally disassembled but still binding. Once that was behind me the rack hit the floor.
Time for the Turbo Tie Rods and a sprucing up. Here's some photos of the day: I started by pulling the spring retainers off. Attached image(s) |

QUOTE very nice, what car is it going into? Thanks Eric, I guess I should explain that... not too many people know what I'm working on. It's going on a 74 that I'm doing a GT conversion on. My goal is to make it look as much like a factory GT as possible. I'm even digging into the nostalgic parts bin. I'm using period kind of stuff, hence the S-calipers and factory sway bar. I'm building a 3.0 SC motor for my 911 RS clone with S-cams, JE's, MFI bla, bla, bla. The 2.2 is coming out and I'm going to throw some 90mm nikasils on there, S-cams, rebush the rods (to bump the compression back up) and have a 2.5 short stroker for the GT. Hope the rods don't fall off! (little off topic humor for Rich) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) My 914-6 is the canary yellow one in the avatar. That's off to the body shop for a complete paint job. It is all original and will stay that way. "Stitch" redid the door panels and fixed the peeling dash but the rest of the interior was in great original shape. Those are my three projects... |
