I then put on the bellows (small end to the inside).

To get the rack to sit properly horizontal, I made a pair of stands that screw into the rack mounting holes.

With a little adjustment, the rack now sits horizontal.

To measure the angles of the eye bolts, I grabbed some long bolts, and some tape to shim these for a snug fit.

Here's a top view, with the bolts propped up on some 2x4 blocks.

Lucky 2x4 thickness! The angle is right on 9 degrees.

Next is to measure the lateral dimension, with the rack itself centered. The spec is 278 mm. Note that the adjustment is a bit crude, since the eyebolt has to screw in or out a complete revolution to maintain the proper angles, both down to the rear and turned out to the front (as seen from above).

I set both sides. Interesting that the left side was screwed in fully, while the right side was out one full turn.

I snugged up the lock rings, but will check dimensions one more time tomorrow before final tightening.

Final bits today for the steering rack. I did double check dimensions and angles, and then tightened the lock rings. Got this tool for the job.

Here's all the parts gathered for installing the lower steering shaft. That includes a new rubber coupler and lock plates.

After torquing to proper spec, the ends of the lock plate fix the bolt heads.

Then comes the plastic cover and the lower shaft bearing. Ready for installation.

Just some minor progress today. I took another batch of parts out of the Evapo-rust bucket, including the frame for the parking brake switch. Here it is reassembled.

And starting on the parking brake lever. A bit ugly.
