Help for sorter than stock rack&pinion (like 156 GTA)

ULTRALINK A75 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-07-2007, 08:15 AM

Gentlemen,
I would like some info in regard to sortening the travel of my rack&pinion for my 3.0 liter Alfa 75 ( like the 2.1 turns of 156 GTA ).
Is there any solution for 2 revolutions from one end to the other (left - right) for the steering wheel ?
What are the choices that I have ?
Thanks in advance

Marinos

Demon Tweeks in the UK used to carry a "fast rack" kit.

Jes (AR4me) has access to a guy in Sweden who did 4 sets of 2 turn-lock to lock racks for us for the two 3.7s (and as spare sets...) They started out as 2.2 turns and once installed it is damn near 2 turns! Very nice

I purchased one of JJ's Swedish racks. I highly recommend it.

It sets the car up with a fast turn in point and precise apex alignment. It is so nice you hate to unwind after the turn. it is tight - no slop. I also recommend a steering wheel extender to gain extra leverage for the tighter ratio.

"It is a very nice rack indeed!"

I have misplaced the info on the Swedish source I located for our 4 kits a couple of years ago - sorry. I seem to recall his first name being Jarmo - Mats, rings a bell?
