Steering Rack

My steering rack arrived today from the USA, this is a brz rack from a LHD car but I have flipped it over so it is now front steer.

Gave it a quick clean and then did some measurements to see where the pivot points would be and how they would line up with my control arm pivots as this affects bump steer.

Could not be happier with how well this will work. I don't have exact measurements until I remove the boots but the pivot points are around about the right spot. I will need some longer tie rod arms though since I have increased the front track a little.

I have done a quick mock up to show how well the pinion aligns towards the steering column. This also shows how I will be able to easily mount the rack such that it is height adjustable by adding and removing spacers under the mounting points.
